Hi, folks,
'Nuff Said!, the comic book interview/talk show, is still off the air, but I'm doing a special two Monday mornings from now, Nov. 25, 2002, 10 - 11 AM and another two Thursday evenings later, Dec. 5, 2002, 7 - 8 PM.
The Monday morning show is about Women and Comics . One of the many clichés about comics is that they are only for boys and young men and always have been. Not true, but the ratio of male to female is still not what many of us would like.
So far, the guests include Trina Robbins, author of "The Great Women Cartoonists" who gives the history of women in comics all the way back to the late 19th century. She's also probably the first woman to do underground comics. There will be other guests, but they have yet to confirm the date. Check the web site for up-to-the-minute details. (http://www.comicbookradioshow.com)
The Thursday evening show is about Comics in the Classroom.
Sequential art has been used to teach science, reading, literature, religion, politics, art and every other subject. Comic books have been used to raise reading scores, help soldiers maintain equipment and teach
languages. The CIA used comics to train the Contras during the "war" with Nicaragua in the '80s. Yet bringing comics into the classroom remains controversial.
Basir M'Chawi's regular Thursday evening show, "Education at the Crossroads," features your truly, Ken Gale, and two people who use comics in the classroom, Alex Simmons and Dan Tandarich.
For those of you in the area who are at work or some such, there is an article on our web site about how to tape radio using your vcr:

There are TWO live streams (via 2600.com and escape.com) that you can get from our web site, http://www.comicbookradioshow.com (please note the new domain name, the old domain has been taken over by a porn site, the former registrar simply wouldn't let me re-register it so I had to change the name). If one access is unavailable, try the other. Everyone with the
right software (and there's a free download link from our site) should be able to get through now.
WBAI-FM, 99.5, is a 50,000 watt station broadcast from the Empire State Building. Their signal usually gets out to New Haven, CT; Westhampton, L.I.; the Poconos of Pennsylvania, Orange County, NY and Trenton & Princeton, NJ. But via the internet for an even greater distance, natch.
Bernard White, the program director, has said on the air that 'Nuff Said! has not been canceled, just "on hiatus," but I have not been told anything about a possible return to the air. Whether he said that to stop the flow of phone calls and e-mails asking for its return or because he hasn't finalized plans, I do not know. His e-mail address is burnardwhite@aol.com (not a typo) and his voicemail is (212) 209-2834. Snail mail is WBAI-FM, 120 Wall St., 10th flr, New York, NY 10005 (letters have the greatest
impact).
It was through him that the Women and Comics special was scheduled, so perhaps you have been having an effect and a thank you to him is in order.
Or perhaps this is all we'll get. I don't know. I hope we'll be back when the schedule is changed again (probably not this year).
There's more information about that on the web site, too.
Thanks,
Ken Gale, producer, interviewer and host
