Announcing-The Remember When Podcasts March review

This month, we’re ecstatic to announce the launch of Wes Britton’s Remember When Podcasts offering reprises of his classic interviews with musicians, actors, and all manner of entertainment insiders first broadcast on “Dave White Presents” over online radio’s KSAV.org. Here’s a review of all the Podcasts posted so far:

”Remember When” debuted with a fantastic opener-Wes’s 2010 interview with former Bond, George Lazenby! Listeners will hear stories they haven’t heard before and will be delighted with George’s anecdotes about his early years, Bond, and his time with Bruce Li.

Most of us recall ccharacgter actor larry Storch because of his role as flustered Corporal Randolph Agarn in the ‘60s TV series, F-Troop. Get Smart fans remember him as the “Groovy Guru” in that comedy hit. Just about all of us have heard his voice in cartoons ranging from Tennessee Tuxedo to Batman.
You can learn all about these roles and what Larry has to say about impressionist actors in a reprise of his Nov. 9, 2010 interview with Remember When’s Wes Britton at:

If you know anything about the history of Patty Duke, you know her real name was Anna Marie Duke and her stage name was forced on her by abusive caretakers when she was a child. So she was billed as Patty Duke when she starred in The Miracle Worker and was, of course, the namesake of The Patty Duke Show when she played those two identical cousins.
But listeners to Wes Britton’s Sept. 13, 2011 interview with Anna will learn there’s much more to Anna’s story than two famous acting roles, to put it mildly. Here's the link to that interview including material that wasn’t broadcast the first time around-

Remembering Ben E. King:
Birth name Benjamin Earl Nelson
Born September 28, 1938
Died April 30, 2015 (aged 76)
It’s impossible for anyone to have never heard the voice and compositions of Ben E. King. During his time with the Drifters, he sang and co-wrote songs like There Goes My Baby and sang on hits like Save the Last Dance for Me, and I Count the Tears. As a solo artist, he gave us hits like Spanish Harlem and Stand by Me.
As listeners to Wes Britton’s Nov. 23, 2011 interview with Ben learned, the master of early soulful r&b classics kept on working until the end. Now, new listeners can hear one of the last in-depth conversations with Mr. King and be transported back to the days of tuneful melodies, polished harmonies, and emotional lyrics that resonate today.

Going Back to Happy Days with Donnie Most!

Yes, Wes Britton got to interview Ralph Malph on Dec. 31, 2014. Now is the perfect time to reprise that conversation as much of the interview focuses on Don’s musical career. As it happens, a new CD of “Donnie Most Sings and Swings” is in the works and we’ll play you some samples of Don’s big band stylings to whet your appetite.
And yes, Don has Happy Days anecdotes to share as we Remember When . . .

“Keep playing that rock and roll/ keep doing what you’ve been told . . .”

Texas has given the world a signature sound blending southern blues with good ole rock and roll- think Janis Joplin, Roy Orbison, ZZ Top, Jimmy and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Johnny and Edgar Winter, to name but a few of the Lone Star states rocking luminaries.

Back on Aug. 1, 2012, Edgar sat down with Wes Britton and talked about his inspirations, his brother, the blues and his various groups he’s headed over the years.

“Yada, yada.” “Spongeworthy.” Peter Mehlman was the Seinfeld writer who coined those catch-phrases.

During most of 1989-1998, comic writer Peter Mehlman was a major contributor to Seinfeld, first as a script-writer, ultimately becoming the series Executive Producer. So the man knows a lot about TV comedy.
So you should expect a lot of laughs in the interview Peter shared with Wes Britton first broadcast just in time for Peter to tout his then new book, Mandela Was Late: Essays and Odd Things from the Seinfeld Writer Who Coined Yada,yada, and Made Spongeworthy a Compliment (2013). Expect some generous samples from that treasury of oddball comedy.

In an interview with Wes Britton, Dee Wallace remembers playing Mother Mary Taylor in Steven Spielberg’s E.T. The Extra-Terrestial, being a “Scream Queen” in films like The Hills Have Eyes, The Howling, and Critters.
But Dee Wallace has lots more to talk about than screen roles, especially her career as a healer. What does that mean? Check out the latest Remember When Podcast and we promise one of the warmest, uplifting, and inspiring conversations you’ll ever hear-

“We’re an American Band.” “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home).” “The Loco-Motion.”

While never loved by contemporary critics, it’s been said you can’t talk about ‘70s rock without talking about Grand Funk Railroad.
Well, on the next Remember When Podcast, Grand Funk drummer, singer, and songwriter Don Brewer does just that. Don tells Wes Britton tales of the highs, lows, lawsuits, and especially the stories behind the band’s biggest hits. And why the critics never warmed to the Michigan trio.

Coming attractions:

In honor of Women’s History Month, Remember When Podcasts are offering a series of interviews with notable women who’re each much more than pretty faces.
First up: Tippi Hedron is best known for her two starring roles in Alfred Hitchcock films, The Birds (1963) and with Sean Connery in Marni (1964). Among her 80 roles in television and in film, Hedron was the only actress to ever work for both Hitchcok and Charlie Chaplin in his final film, The Countess from Hong Kong (1967). Her honors include a Golden Globe, a Jules Verne Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Hedron is also noted for her long commitment to the plight of African lions and tigers and established her Roar Foundation to support her Shambala Preserve, an 80-acre wildlife habitat. She has created relief programs worldwide following earthquakes, hurricanes, famine and war. In 2012, she was the subject of a biographical film about her time with Hitchcock, The Girl, in which Hedron was portrayed by actress Sienna Miller. Did we mention she’s Melanie Griffith’s mom?
So who could be a better choice to lead off our notable women series as we reprise her 2012 interview with Wes Britton in which we touched on everything mentioned in this description (yes, lots of Hitchcock and big cats) and much more:

Then we’re featuring Jeri Jewell, an actress who broke barriers in Hollywood, bringing cerebral palsy to the small screen.

here's the anchor link where you will find all the interviews and links to listen to them on various platforms.
