It is hot as blazes. Which reminds me of the years I spent pushing noisy lawnmowers and dragging pesky, leaking hoses around the yard. The Great Lakes Radio Consortium has cool advice on how to minimize that misery and get a healthy lawn.
Jay Allison and crew are back with another pow ierful Transom Radio Hour. This summer special is really worth featuring; it's the "back story" to great public radio.
Mal Sharpe. If you don't know this outrageously creative guy who took 'man on the street' interviewing to the extreme, well, you're in for a treat. Dig the profile and hear his work.
Fescue,
-John

PRODUCER PROFILE: MAL SHARPE
"If I could play a beautiful solo on 'I Cover the Waterfront' by blowing into the snout of a possum, I would be all for it."
It's none other than the original "man on the street," Mal Sharpe, and his latest release What is the Meaning Of Life? is on PRX for your listening and reviewing pleasure. Being naturally curious folks, we sent a few questions his way to find out more.
Read PRX's interview with Mal.
