Putting together VideoFuzzy ep. 100 -- coffee certainly helps!   Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 100th episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings. This set covers discs 1751 to 1800 in my Classic Collection. I open with a project overview highlighting some of my finds. For my Fuzzy Feature, I encountered the 100th episode of "Bones" that recalled the first case Booth and Bones worked on together. I found a similar story construction in "In Plain Sight," and talked about that one as well. Under Cross Connections I trace Golden Threads Todd Giebenhain and, later, Michael Shamus Wiles. Also, appearances by Amy Acker, Lee Majors, Kathy Najimy, Bryan Batt, Alan Ruck, Stephen Root, Katie Sackhoff, Mark Bergeron, Angela Bassett, Sarah Silverman, Rita Moreno, Dana Delany, Sheryl Crow, Mary Pat Gleason, Marc A. Sheppard, Charlotte Arren, Johnny Broderick, Cyd Cherise, Fred Astaire, Jane Lynch, Olivia Munn and Brian Skala. And under Fond Reflections, love for Michelle Trachtenberg of "Buffy," "Mercy" and "Six Feet Under," and I share some headcanon from an "Angel" chat group I was in. In Video Outreach, I share comments from author and fellow podcaster Kemper Donovan on my review of "Loose Lips," available here: https://bit.ly/3C11ENN Kemper hosts the "All About Agatha" podcast here: https://bit.ly/43j4hnB Then I chat with my sister, Patti Ellingson, about shows we've enjoyed, including "Doctor Who," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Bridgerton" and "Stranger Things." I know I've mentioned my sister's influence on my television viewing different times over the course of this production, and this felt like a fantastic opportunity to chat with her directly. So much fun! In my Classic Collection, I take almost a disc-by-disc deep dive on what I was finding in this set, beginning with a third meet-cute storyline I encountered in this set: the first season finale of "Human Target." Also, comments on "Arrested Development," "The Simpsons," "FlashForward," "Archer," "24," "Caprica," "Community," "Mercy," "Ugly Betty," "Parks and Recreation," "Justified," 2002 and 2005 MTV Movie Award shows, "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report," "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" C-SPAN coverage of the Affordable Care Act, "Breaking Bad," "The Big Bang Theory," "Jawbreaker," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" "Batman Returns," "The Three Faces of Eve," "Sybil," Union activity at The Minot Daily News, "Star Trek Voyager," "Fawlty Towers," "Monty Python's Flying Circus," commercials and music videos, "LOST," "Cougar Town," "Castle," "Fringe," "Chuck," "Broadway Melody of 1940," "Silk Stockings," "V" and "Damages."  Also surfacing in this cataloging effort I found home movies, including a one-act presented at the Carnegie Center in Minot in 2002 or so called "Excerpts." Friends of mine read from books in my collection: https://bit.ly/3DslFO6 It's a bit silly, but if you think of books on your shelves murmuring to one another, that was the idea I was going for. Then, from 100 episodes, I share 100 clips! But there'd only be 99, right? Well, one of the clips I shared referenced outtakes from a "Michael Caine in Space" sketch on "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" which, at the time, I had trouble locating. Since then, I was able to locate it here: https://bit.ly/4hnn9XM Enjoy! Finally, in What I've Been Watching, Ralph and I took in Larry Shue's "The Nerd" at the Vernal Theatre downtown, and I shared some thoughts. The company closes out its season with a production of Cole Porter's "Kiss Me Kate" coming up in mid-April, and we're looking forward to it. Tickets and information at https://www.vernaltheatre.com.

On this week's Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, continues an exciting summer series of interviews with local women/fem artists who are all engaged in some form of struggle for social justice and are all featured in an exhibit called “We Don't Wither,” on display at the Muhammad Ali Center April 1 - December 18, 2023. We Don't Wither examines the intersection of art and activism. The artists have created pieces that respond to current socio-cultural and -political situations, lived experiences, and related current events — to see our world and our community through their unique perspectives. The intention is to celebrate the often unheard experiences, opinions, feelings, and perspectives from those who work, create, and fight in our city; to share their artwork and views with visitors; and to provide a space for conversation and reflection. This exhibit is included in the regular price of admission, but you can see it for free and meet the artists themselves during the upcoming ARTIST SHOWCASES: Shauntrice Martin July 29 LaNia Roberts August 12 Joanne Weis August 26 Morgan McGill September 30 Nikki Douglas October 28 Learn more at: https://alicenter.org/muhammad-ali-center-announces-new-temporary-exhibit-featuring-louisville-area-artists/ This week, we interview LaNia Roberts, an artist who was born in 1996 and raised in the West End of Louisville. As a young black girl who struggled with her identity, she discovered in visual art a creative outlet for self-expression that would prove to be transformative. After several years in Louisville Visual Art's Children Fine Art Classes and attending Kentucky Governor School for the Arts, she graduated from Central High School in 2014. With multiple scholarships and as a first generation college student, she entered Syracuse University in New York to study painting and was very active in student organizations becoming President of the Black Artist League for 3 years, as well as singing in the Black Celestial Choral Ensemble and more. While studying at Syracuse, LaNia continued to exhibit work throughout the Louisville area in spaces like the Carnegie Center for Art & History in New Albany and 1619 Flux Art & Activism. During her junior year of college, LaNia was the first ever in her family to travel abroad. She lived and studied painting, photography, and sculpture in Florence, Italy, and took a 4-month art history class throughout Greece. She soon was invited back to Italy to attend art workshops led by master professors taught in Tuscany, Italy in 2017 and 2018. At the end of her senior year, LaNia lived and worked in New York City with internships at Creative Capital and the Ronald Feldman Art Gallery. During the fall of 2018 LaNia lived and studied Human Rights & Multiculturalism for a full semester in Cape Town, South Africa. She has traveled to a total of 13 countries within the past 5 years. LaNia completed her degree in Painting in 2019. Since traveling and graduating, LaNia has moved back to Louisville. Recently invited to speak at Roger Williams University in Bristol, RI, LaNia was flown out to present her artwork and to talk about “Decolonizing the Art World as a Black Woman” to college students. She continues to exhibit work throughout KY and is thrilled to have the opportunity to give back to her community as much as her community has given to her.

"But it does mean every day pick a time and write for 15 minutes. And then if you have another 15, write for another 15 minutes. But make the commitment that every day you're going to show up to the page. Because if you don't show up, the stories don't get told."Angela's writing prompt will help you get to know your characters before you sit down to write.About Angela Jackson-BrownAngela Jackson-Brown is an award-winning writer, poet and playwright who is an Associate Professor in the creative writing program at Indiana University in Bloomington. She also teaches in the graduate program at the Naslund-Mann Graduate School of Writing at Spalding University in Louisville, KY. She is the author of Drinking From a Bitter Cup, House Repairs, When Stars Rain Down and The Light Always Breaks.

For our sixteenth episode, we talk to Marcia Thornton Jones, author of more than 135 books for children. Marcia describes her own complicated relationship to writing prompts and how she eventually realized that “every writer writes from prompts.”She explains that “something prompted every one of us to sit down and pour words onto the page. It could have been a smell or an aroma that automatically transports us back to a memory, or it could be a snippet of dialogue that we overhear, or it could be our desire to understand some kind of idea or behavior or character behavior or a big life idea. Whatever it was, something compels us to make sense of our world through the art of writing.”Marcia shares the process she has developed for using writing prompts in her classes. She asks students to complete a pre-prompt prompt, a craft-oriented writing prompt, and a post-prompt prompt. Listen to the complete episode to find out how to incorporate these techniques into your writing process.About Marcia Thornton JonesMarcia Thornton Jones has traditionally published more than 135 books for children with sales totaling more than 43 million copies worldwide.

We are so excited to introduce you to our guest today, Rheonna Nicole, a spoken word artist and poet. 4 years ago she started an all female poetry slam In Louisville KY called Lipstick Wars. She started in a small theater that holds 600. That filled up and the next year she filled another theater that held 1200. This year Lipstick Wars is being held in Whitney Hall at the Kentucky Center for the Arts, a venue that holds more than 2300 people. Rheonna is a woman who will not take no for an answer. She is an example of how persistence and dedication pay off. Rheonna tells us how a poetry slam is perfect for a competitive person, why women benefit from having a female only event and why the classic black poets such as Langston Hughes and Maya Angelou are still her biggest influences even in the age of social media. Rheonna is such a joy to interview. Her positivity is contagious and it comes across over the airwaves. Right before this broadcast we received the news that Lipstick Wars is going on the road and will be in Lexington KY October 12 at the Carnegie Center. good news for our friends in that part of the state.   You can find us on FB, instagram (@perksofbeingabookloverpod) and on our blog site www.perksofbeingabooklover.com Perks airs on Forward Radio 106.5 FM and forwardradio.org every Wednesday at 6 pm, Thursdays at 6 am and 12 pm.

They're a delicious summertime snack -- but they're also associated with a long-standing stereotype about black people. This week we talk to historian Bill Black from Rice University about how watermelons became a racist symbol. And an exhibit at the Carnegie Center for Art and History tells the fascinating story of Lucy Higgs Nichols. She went from enslavement in Tennessee to working as a nurse with the 23rd Indiana Volunteers during the Civil War.

Writing was never a part of Peggy's life plan, and came to it in small steps—a business woman first, a writer second. After a short career in banking, Peggy went back to college for a computer science degree and opened a computer and network design company. She left the computer business after thirteen years and became a newspaper columnist and freelance writer. Peggy says, "It seemed to me that the two consistent things in the many iterations of my career were computers and writing. When I discovered print-on-demand technology and realized the huge potential for authors, I knew what I had to do: teach other writers how to take control of their careers, their content and their profit margins by self-publishing. I am on a mission." Self-Publishing for Virgins is a comprehensive how-to book that teaches writers how to self-publish with profit! This book takes you from conception to publication and promotion of your self-published book using cutting edge, print-on-demand technology, social media and non-traditional book promotion. Peggy DeKay is the Director of Women Who Write and the former editor of Writer’s Wire, an ezine for writers. She teaches self-publishing workshops at the University of Louisville, Indiana University, Carnegie Center and at regional libraries, book festivals and writers conferences.
