ArchivesH.P. LovecraftBy Liz Bulkley on Tuesday, October 30, 2007.New England writer H.P. Lovecraft spent his life as an unpublished horror, fantasy and science fiction writer during the early and mid 1900's. After his death, he became recognized as one of the masters of his genres. His work is dark, sometimes weird, and highly imaginative. Tonight on the Front Porch, we’re going to look into the life and mind of the man behind the Necronomicon and other unearthly inventions. Our guest is Stephen Bisset, cartoonist, writer and instructor at the Center for Cartoon Studies. Steve is highly regarded as an expert in Lovecraft film adaptations. ***This interview originally aired October 18, 2006*** Forty Years of Public BroadcastingBy Liz Bulkley on Tuesday, October 30, 2007.On November 7, 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the bill that created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Its purpose was to give a voice to the voiceless and establish radio and television stations that would be free of corporate interests and partisan influence. Tonight on the Front Porch, we’ll look at the past forty years of public broadcasting and discuss whether the CPB has lived up to its lofty goals. Our guest is Jack W. Mitchell, author of Listener Supported: The Culture and History of Public Radio. Jack is professor of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He was also the very first employee of National Public Radio, and the original producer of All Things Considered. |
