Episode 83 - "Keeping It Real with Tom Arnold"
On January 25, actor, writer and comedian Tom Arnold kicks of the 17th installment of the Addiction and Recovery Lecture Series at Horry-Georgetown Technical College in Conway, South Carolina - just up the road from Myrtle Beach. The series will run on consecutive Thursdays through February 15, If you are a certain age like we are, you’ll remember Tom from his work on the long-running ABC sitcom Roseanne – or that he was once married to the show’s star, Roseanne Barr. And who can forget him opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in True Lies – or the hilarious restroom scene in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. But he cut his teeth on standup, which he still performs, and has appeared in scores of films and television shows over more than three decades. He’s also a single parent of a son and daughter. Tom is also in recovery – and has been very open about his experience with addiction, relapse, child sexual abuse and a series of health scares over the years. But he’s arguably in the best shape of his life now. In 2008, HGTC physics professor Casey King founded and launched Addiction and Recovery Lecture Series – a popular event that has included a growing “Who’s Who” of featured celebrity speakers – from actors to rock stars to medical professionals and many more. The series also features presentations and panels including college students, recovery advocates and spokespersons from local recovery groups, rounding out an event that shines as a beacon of hope for those still struggling with addiction and a lamp on the path of those on their recovery journeys. A big thank you to Casey for putting us in touch with Tom.

Episode 65 - "Hollywood in Miami II: Fred Berney"
“Hootenanny A Go-Go,” aka “Once Upon A Coffee House” is a 1965 film based on an original story by and includes songs and music from our dad, Carl Yale (that’s him with the sunglasses if you’re on Libsyn). The film was shot in Miami at a breakneck pace in 1964 and was produced by Fred Berney. The idea came about as a result of Berney’s visits to one of our father’s (and uncle's) coffee houses in Miami – The Hootenanny – as the folk scene was coming to a crescendo at the advent of the British Invasion – and was intended as a vehicle for various folk artists at the time. Of note is the fact that the film was also the first-ever screen appearance by Joan Rivers. Here’s our conversation with Fred – a look into the film itself, his life and career in media, and his take on Miami itself.
