Arthur Anderson in Conversation with Bob Edwards
This coming Thursday, 2 September, my friend Arthur Anderson will be in conversation with my friend Bob Edwards on his XM Satellite Radio show. (Geez, dude, namedrop much?) From the show’s promo:
In the film Me and Orson Welles, Zac Efron plays a young actor who stumbles into the role of Lucius in the 1937 Broadway production of Julius Caesar. The young man actually cast in the role was Arthur Anderson. Now eighty-eight years old, Anderson went on to have a long career in radio and television, probably best-known as the voice of the Lucky Charms leprechaun. Anderson is the author of Let’s Pretend and the Golden Age of Radio, and most recently, An Actor’s Odyssey: Orson Welles to Lucky the Leprechaun.
Air times for the show are, in eastern daylight time, 8 am, 9 am, 10 am, 3 pm, 8 pm, 10 pm, and Friday 4 am and 9 pm.
If you aren’t a subscriber to XM Satellite Radio or Sirius Satellite Radio with the Best of XM package, you can still hear The Bob Edwards Show on the on-line service (better sound quality than from the satellites anyway) by signing up for a free trial.
