Fri. 12:06 ET-Today we recognize “celebrity” and “actor” as two separate vocations – many instantly recognizable celebrities have few acting credits. Marilyn Monroe was both, and may be the most successful ever at doing both at once. This week, Leigh Rich and P. T. Bridgeport chat with Amanda Konkle, author of Some Kind Of Mirror: Creating Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn was a deft actress, both on the set and especially, in the role of a celebrity. Yet because of her celebrity role, many downplay her skills as a cinema actress. How good was she really? Dr. Konkle will cover those subjects and more. Join us. 05/03/2019
Fri. 11 am ET- Novelty songs are kind of cute the first time you hear them and after that, not so much. That’s because they trade on being cute and unexpected, and they usually don’t have music worth listening to again. Except, some of them do. Some are pretty elaborate and some are accompanied by music that bears repeating. Some novelty songs weren’t even recognized as novelty songs. This week Brian Renner and P. T. Bridgeport explore novelty songs that go beyond the random snicker. We might even throw in a handshake buzzer or whoopee cushion just to keep the party going. Join us at 11:00 am, this coming Friday. 05/03/2019
Wed. 9 pm. ET- This week on Savannah Music Local and Sustainable I will be talking with Martin Gendelman, the Argentinian born American composer, who lives in Savannah and works at Georgia Southern University.
