The Voice Actor Show with Joe Bev
Guest: David Ossman
43 years of Joe Bev's radio theater available via online podcasts, MP3 downloads and CD box sets, from Waterlogg Productions and Blackstone Audio.
Veteran award-winning radio theater producer Joe Bevilacqua (Joe Bev) talks with David Ossman on the latest edition of The Voice Actor Show, just one of fifteen unique "Joe Bev" radio programs, heard on public radio stations nationwide and streamed and podcast worldwide at http://www.joebev.com and http://www.bearmanorradio.com.
David was one of the four founders of The Firesign Theatre in 1966 and has edited all their published works, including "Anythynge You Want To," "Exorcism In Your Daily Life" and "Profiles in Barbeque Sauce" for BearManor Media http://www.BearManorMedia.com.
Also from BearManor, Ossman's "The Ronald Reagan Murder Case," featuring George Tirebiter, 1940s radio star and part-time detective, and "Dr. Firesign's Follies," a sort-of memoir. He is presently engaged in writing a new, much expanded edition of "The Sullen Art," based on his 1960s radio interviews with new American poets and has a new book of political poems, "Marshmallows and Despair," coming this Fall.
"Firesign Theater is the reason I got into radio theater," admits Joe Bev, and adds, "I am humbled to have had such a great conversation with such a great talent. David and I had a meeting of the minds."
Also heard on The Voice Actor Show is a Blast from the Past: An excerpt of "How Time Flys", the comedy album written by David Ossman and featuring the voice talents of all four members of The Firesign Theatre, originally released by Columbia Records in 1973.
David and his wife Judith Walcutt were given a Lifetime Achievement "Angie" Award from the International Mystery Writers Festival, for which they produced more than a dozen new plays, including works by Mary Higgins Clark, Ray Bradbury, Rupert Holmes and Agatha Christie's "The BBC Murders," an adaptation of four of Christie's radio mysteries. David and Judith are best known for "The War of the World's 50th Anniversary Production," the first all-digital radio drama (1988), Norman Corwin's "We Hold These Truths" (1991), "The Empire of the Air - The Men Who Made Radio" (1992) and the all-star Centennial Production of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" (2000).
Later this week, David Ossman will appear as George Tirebiter on Joe Bev's The Comedy-O-Rama Hour, which carries on the tradition of Firesign Theatre, with a new hour of improvisational radio theater comedy every week.
