Jim Alfredson Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 If anyone listens to talk radio, we'll be on the Mitch Albom show today starting at 3:00pm eastern standard time. I know his show is broadcast all over the place. Should be pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Isn't he the guy who wrote "Tuesdays with Morrie" and does ESPN talk shows? Just how did you finagle this, and is it an interview or what? And congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Thanks for the link. Looks like Albom needs to get his website updated-there's this line in the "television" section of his bio: "Mitch is currently creating a one-hour drama for the CBS Television Network that is targeted for the Fall 2002 season."

AfricaBrass Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Good luck! My wife's from Michigan and her mom loves Mitch Albom. She also keeps telling me how Farmer Jack's has better prices and food than the stores out here. To quote my future governor, "Kill Me Now!" Have fun!

Guest Chaney Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Looks like the Internet streaming capabilities of the Albom show have been "temporarily suspended". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregK Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Good luck! My wife's from Michigan and her mom loves Mitch Albom. She also keeps telling me how Farmer Jack's has better prices and food than the stores out here. To quote my future governor, "Kill Me Now!" Have fun! Farmer Jack is great. I think Meijer has better prices more consistently though. Mitch also writes for the Detroit Free Press. He tore into the Lions last week, deservedly. I think he is also working on a movie with Hank Azaria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted October 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I'm bummed that WJR's streaming is down. That's a real stinker. Mitch himself wasn't there today. He's doing a book tour to support his new release. But the replacement, Frank (I can't recall his last name... horrible, I know...) was very nice and we had fun. They did a short interview towards the end of the show with just me and we played little 30 to 45 second shorts three times an hour to bring the show back from commercial. If it helps spread the word, that's all that matters! What's funny is that they interviewed via phone Denny McClain who just got out of prison (yes, the Denny McClain from the Detroit Tigers). As some may know, he plays organ and Frank mentioned I had a Hammond B3 in the studio Denny got all excited and said, "Wow! Good for him! Man, I haven't seen one of those in a long time!" Funny stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Yeah they probably didn't have one where Denny has been hanging out recently.Congrats B3-er and your'e right the more exposure the merrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Yeah, I hope they plugged the record on each intro, and its definitely good to get some national exposure. So, Jim, do tell. How did you guys get the opportunity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted October 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 They plugged the record and the website. As for getting the gig, they have a form you fill out on the website and then if they dig your application or website or something a guy calls and you send a press kit in. If they like that, they book ya! We were supposed to be on last May but the Pistons were in the play-offs and Mitch was gone for two weeks so they re-scheduled. Of course he was gone here, too.

connoisseur series500 Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Great news fellahs! I've been off the board all day and didn't catch it on time. Not sure if we get his show here in the Toledo area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted October 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Interesting article on Denny McClain. Since this was before my time and I've never been a big baseball fan, it's all news to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
