The Voices of Fred Flintstone & Yogi Bear will be heard on the latest edition of The Joe Bev Experience.

The weekly radio hour is an anthology series representing the depth and breath of Joe Bev's 40-plus year career in audio storytelling, from documentary to radio drama, and new and classic installments of Bev's older radio show Cartoon Carnival.

The hour features chapters 3 of Yabba Dabba Doo! The Alan Reed Story and What the Butler Wrote: Scenes from the Daws Butler Workshop.

Yabba Dabba Doo! is the autobiography of the voice of Fred Flintstone, brought to life by veteran radio-theater producer Joe Bevilacqua and Alan Reed Jr.  The audio book features rare interviews with Alan Reed himself, an interview with Joe Barbera, and clips from Reed's radio, TV, and film career, including The Fred Allen Show, The Shadow, The Life of Riley, Life with Luigi, Duffy's Tavern, The Postman Always Rings Twice, Viva Zapata, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and The Flintstones.

What the Butler Wrote: Scenes from the Daws Butler Workshop is audio theater from the mind of Daws Butler, the voice of Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear and many other cartoon characters.  In 1975, Butler began an acting workshop that spawned such talents as Nancy Cartwright (The Simpsons), Corey Burton (Old Navy, Disney), and Joe Bev(ilacqua).

In this series, Bev presents performances of scripts Butler wrote for his acting workshop. This Saturday, guests June Foray and Nancy Cartwright join Bev for a tribute to Butler recorded before a live audience in Glendale, California.

These and hundreds of hours of audio titles from Waterlogg Productions are available at waterlogg.com.

“I want you to understand the words. I want you to taste the words. I want you to love the words. Because the words are important. But they’re only words. You leave them on the paper, and you take the thoughts and put them into your mind, and then you as an actor recreate them, as if the thoughts had suddenly occurred to you.â€â€”Daws Butler Now you can audit a real Daws Butler acting workshop! This is a raw, unedited recording of Daws Butler protégé Joe Bevilacqua (a.k.a. Joe Bev) and fellow Daws students cold reading Butler’s scripts and being taught by their mentor. It was recorded by the then seventeen-year-old Bevilacqua on Thursday, July 29, 1976, in Beverly Hills. The scripts heard in this workshop are published in the books Uncle Dunkle and Donnie and Scenes for Actors and Voices, both published by BearManor Media.
