CCP #6 - (final cut) Buster Keaton's death; Chaplin's Modern Times & his studio; Topper

Recorded Feb 16, 2007 -

I give my apologies for not having a show the previous week. I observe the 41st anniversary of Buster Keaton's passing; I mention upcoming birthdays of Lou Costello and Jerry Lewis; I go into Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times and a little history of his studio; Judd joins and we discuss Chaplin's speech at the end of the Great Dictator and the appearances of classic comedy in recent movies and tv; Judd mentions the old time radio, movie, and tv series Topper; with plow13 we go into some off-topic talk about 8-tracks, CDs, and records; I talk about how to subscribe to this show with iTunes; and we end the show with another off-topic discussion about Toastmasters and how that can help podcasters

CCP #6 - (uncut) Buster Keaton's death; Chaplin's Modern Times & his studio; Topper

This is the uncut version of #6.. I plan to edit it soon. I talk about the belated anniversary of Buster Keaton's passing (Feb 1), Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times and his studio; Topper (a hauntingly funny series from radio and movies); upcoming birthdays of Jerry Lewis and Lou Costello; and a off topic discussion about Toastmasters. Edited version will be released later with better shownotes including links, and I'll make the Toastmaster discussion a separate episode since it's off topic but can be very useful to people.

#5 - Tom Smothers 70th birthday, Chaplin "Forgotten Years" documentary, Abbott and Costello Feb radio show, Chaplin documentaries and anniversaries

We go into Unknown Chaplin DVD and the Forgotten Years, then Abbott & Costello's official site's February's old time radio release. And I talk about Tom Smothers turning 70 and a short bio of him, and how the Smothers Brothers have affected my appreciation of classic comedy. And I forgot to mention the Yo-Yo Man! Shame on me.
