Episodes

  • 1122 Mike Watt, editor, "Exploitation Nation" 2019

    24/07/2019 Duration: 44min

    2019: Exploitation Nation, Mike Watt’s bi-annual journal in which he gives lowbrow entertainment a highbrow survey, is all about underground comix in its sixth issue. I’m always looking for an excuse to feature comics-related subjects on Mr. Media, so seeing previous Mr. Media guests Howard Cruse and Trina Robbins on the cover, plus art by Will Eisner – whose authorized biography I wrote 15 years ago – it was a pretty easy reach for me.

    18/07/2019 Duration: 28min

    2010: You have a brilliant idea: Write a book about a year in the sporting life of the world’s greatest golfers. A publisher snaps it up and you seemingly have it made. Except you pick the wrong year to focus on the wunderkind, who self-destructs as your year on his tail comes to an end. Even worse, you miss catching him at his real sport, mistressball. But you move forward and the result, Unplayable: An Inside Account of Tiger's Most Tumultuous Season, still captures a true year on the links with Tiger.

    13/07/2019 Duration: 30min

    2019: How much do you need to a know about a band beyond the fact that you like their sound? I heard a few tracks from the Canadian group Across the Board and that was enough for me. They just released a new album, "Wild Ones," so I invited them on the show today and figured we could just dive in and learn about them together.

    22/06/2019 Duration: 28min

    2010: I do recognize a good story, and that’s what Phish biographer—and former Rolling Stone magazine staff writer—Parke Puterbaugh has in his new book "Phish: The Biography." Even though I’m not a Phish-head, I thought by reading the book and talking to Parke, maybe I’ll see the light. Let’s see what happens.

    21/06/2019 Duration: 35min

    2010: I lost track of my old friend Ziggy over the years. I was honestly surprised to learn that the strip is produced by Tom Wilson, Jr., son of Ziggy’s creator.

Wilson tells his story in a new book, "Zig-Zagging: Loving Madly, Losing Badly… How Ziggy Saved My Life."

    21/06/2019 Duration: 26min

  • 1108 Richard Doetsch, novelist, "The Thieves of Darkness" 2010

    21/06/2019 Duration: 26min

    2010: Can it be only six months ago that Richard Doetsch was a guest on Mr. Media? I remember it well because I was so breathless in my praise and admiration for his then-new novel, The 13th Hour. That story completely blew my mind. I still don’t know how Hollywood is going to squeeze so much storytelling goodness into less than three hours, but I can’t wait to see them try.

  • 1107 Paul Buhle, author, "Comics in Wisconsin" 2009

    21/06/2019 Duration: 28min

    2009: "Comics in Wisconsin" is historian Paul Buhle’s new book. Buhle, who has written more than 40 books on pop culture so far, has documented the origins of comics in his home state. This project details the development of homegrown talents such as Denis Kitchen and connects the cheesehead dots to Robert Crumb, Lynda Barry, Bill Griffith and many more. Comics in Wisconsin was at least Buhle’s second book published in 2009: he also collaborated with his old friend Kitchen on "The Art of Harvey Kurtzman

  • 1106 Ray McKinnon, actor, "The Blind Side" 2010

    21/06/2019 Duration: 29min

    2010: For Ray McKinnon, a guy whose previous best-known role was probably that of Reverend H.W. Smith on the HBO series “Deadwood,” the success of "The Blind Side" can’t be anything but good. He’s already been nominated for a 2010 Spirit Award for his role as “Lonzo” in the indie "That Evening Sun," opposite legendary actor Hal Holbrook. McKinnon, by the way, won an Oscar of his own back in 2002 for his work behind the camera on a short, "The Accountant."

    21/06/2019 Duration: 27min

  • 1104 Luis Guzman, actor 2010

    21/06/2019 Duration: 28min

    2010: Luis Guzman is the secret weapon behind HBO’s new comedy series, “How To Make It in America.” He is its Alec Baldwin—you know, Jack Donaghy on “30 Rock”—or, in an even more apt comparison, he is its Jeremy Piven, who plays Ari Gold in “Entourage.” Cousin Rene, the somewhat reformed, Dominican gangsta Guzman plays, isn’t in every scene of this show from “Entourage” creator Mark Wahlberg. But, like Piven, whenever he’s in a scene, he commands your attention. No color is as brig

    21/06/2019 Duration: 31min

    2010: Ted Raimi is directing Playing Dead but writer Suzanne Keilly is actually playing dead in the new web-only series, Playing Dead.
