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
