Cultural Curmudgeon
Series produced by Stephen Provizer
A Typical Day at Curmudgeon Central
Idiosyncratic takes on cultural phenomena; the Illegitimate offspring of Swift, Twain, Mencken, Flann O'Brien and H. RIder Haggard... Spiced with music and sfx.
Radio pirate, jazz musician, know-it-all journalist, tv editor-producer, youth media wrangler, even a former (gulp) mime, I see culture but it don't see me (sorry-misplaced blues lyric), I see culture through a lens that lets humor, irony, passion, superciliousness, altruism and venality pass through in equal measure.
