This week’s show is now playing at your local website.

Hey, the show is on the archive, if you want to stream or download it.

Also, my friend Irwin Chusid sent me a link to a poignant tribute to Paul Winchell by Mark Evanier, who also has a neat gallery of Castle film boxes. Check ’em out.

Worth a few words, perhaps, not a thousand…

Blogger now allows even Mac people to post images easily, sooooo, since I’ve had a request from a listener to post a photo of meself (or “my elf” as a friend and I chuckle to say), here’s one of me from 1992, at bat, surely to strike out yet again or foul miserably, on behalf of the WMBR softball team. Notice the rather disgusted, bored stance of the outfielder. Notorious for throwing the bat, people learn to keep their distance.

Yay, go team!
