Podcast appearances and mentions of Brad James

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Brad James, son of game show host and television icon, Dennis James. We loved talking to Brad because of all the many connections his dad had to early – and we mean early – television that connected with host Josh Mills own family in early television. Fans of classic television should appreciate this episode as we talk about televisions earliest beginning when there were literally just a few hundred sets in the New York metropolitan area. From there we discuss all the many game shows Dennis James was a part of including landmark shows like: The New Price is Right, Let's Make a Deal and Name That Tune as well as obscure shows like Haggis Baggis, Cash and Carry and Name's The Same. It's why he was known as the “Dean of Game Shows.” We are just scratching the surface here as James worked on commercials, radio, movies and became a philanthropic juggernaut when he hosted the first-ever telethon for united Cerebral Palsy Associations as emcee that continued well into the 1990s. In fact, after his father passed away in 1997, Brad took over that role as host to help keep his father's life work alive. Along the way, we talk golf & Kevin Costner, a skinny kid from New Jersey like James named Sinatra who came up through the ranks together and how his father raised – get this $750 million dollars in his five decades of work for United Cerebral Palsy. There is also a story about Foster Brooks and a gun that entertained us to no end. So please, take a listen to the Rarified Heir Podcast with guest Brad James. Everyone has a story.

I don't like seeing action shots on my feed that include death. Especially mammals (fox with bunny shots/mammals in Africa kill me) but birds as well. Like the peregrine eating bird shots, woof. No thanks. BUT today I posted one. Because it happened right in front of me, cuz how do you not fire away when that happens? Partly to see what your camera can do haha!
