I know, I’m asking myself the same thing! I am going to studiously ignore my absence and just dig right in with a new post.
Last week Moonwalking Astronaut Buzz Aldrin was on the show! And we asked questions that were supplied from YOU! A big thank you to Jacque Whittle’s class in Shalimar, Florida for their questions.
(BTW, did you know that Buzz Aldrin just wrote a children’s book? Yup, it’s called Look to the Stars.)
For more about Buzz, including his rap video, the video of Making the Rap video, articles from National Geographic from the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11, and from 1969… go to www.ACloserLookRadio.com/aldrin.php. You’ll also find a link to the interview that we did with Buzz.
Do you remember when we were filming Believe in Me in New Mexico? Our Director of Photography was James L. Carter. Well Mr. Carter has continued to express and impress. He’s currently up for an Emmy for his work on CSI! We’ll be having him on the show this week to talk about dark mood lighting, working with new actors and filming dead bodies! And of course we’ll talk about working with animals (he did My Dog Skip), filming in fire (he did Ladder 49) and so much more. Did you know he got his start working as a production assistant on Carrie??? This guy is full of history and a whole lot of fun!!

Our schedule is just packed for the days ahead:
If you love sports, you’ll know the name Jim Murray. He’s an icon in the world of sportswriting. He passed away in 1998, but his work is still timely. The lady who knew him best, Linda McCoy-Murray, will be our guest on August 20th to talk about Jim, about sports in general, about the future of journalism and so much more.
We get quite serious on August 27th as our guest is documentary filmmaker Skye Fitzgerald. His new film, Finding Face, is about how Cambodian women are disfigured with acid in acts of violence. It’s an important issue and we are proud to bring it to our listeners.
September 10th we welcome back philanthropist Patricia Kennedy. As the Founder of StepUp4Vets, she’s been working tirelessly to raise funds to help fill the gap of need for our returning servicemen and women. We’ll talk about the new projects she’s working on, and who she’s pinned lately with the PeaceOneEarth medal.
Plus, soon we’ll be debuting our Five Minute Shots… a new way to get information out to you when you just don’t have an hour to get the show. We’ll talk about technology, law, health and business… and of course, bring you stories of human interest to inspire, inform and encourage.
Oh… and we’ve recently upgraded the website! If you haven’t been in a while, we encourage you to visit. Check out the archive and catch a show you may have missed!
