My friend Tom Seymour hit me up today to let me know that he was interviewed about his award-winning documentary, VHS Massacre Too, on the Music is Life Podcast. I was fortunate enough to be featured in the documentary and spoke to issues of Blaxploitation Films and the state of the independent film industry. Tom made it a point to let me know that I got shouted out during a few points in the interview.

So if you are available, please watch VHS Massacre Too and the Q&A on May 15th at 4:00 p.m. EST during the Mid May Massacre (http://www.midmaymassacre.com). Did I mention that the event is free?

Podcast Studio Setup

I was searching through the archives looking for examples of some of the previous work I had done with podcasting and came across the old video opening for New York Cine Radio from 2015. The New York Cine Radio podcast was an audio show based on pop culture and entertainment that I was fortunate enough to co-host for a few years. This was part of my weekly routine for quite a while.

More news to follow on the topic and format of this new venture.
