Patrick chats with Triple Threat/Rising Star Mandy Rain!

Mandy Rain is set to release her next single “Back To Bad”. The single will be released on iTunes and other online outlets on Friday, September 18, 2015, with a video to follow.

“Back To Bad” was co-written by Mandy, Maria Christensen, (J-lo, Celine Dion, Lemonade Mouth) and Isaac Hasson (Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Hot Chelle Rae) with Isaac also producing the track!

The song is a fun, radio friendly, uptempo record about a good girl who if backed into a corner, can go back to being a bad girl. The video concept was created by Mandy, and she directed and produced the video.

Patrick chats with Butch Patrick, who starred as Eddie Munster on “The Munsters”!

For two seasons on “The Munsters”, Butch Patrick portrayed pointed eared, wolf-boy Eddie Munster. He was a regular on ‘The Real McCoys’, ‘General Hospital’ and ‘My Three Sons’ — often appearing in commercials and guest starring on sitcom’s throughout the sixties.

“The Munsters” still remains popular today with annual Halloween celebrations, merchandise, collectibles, model kits of that very famous house, and the website munsters.com — dedicated to the classic series.

The concept of Scare It Forward comes from the visionary minds of Butch Patrick and his colleagues. Perhaps best known for his role as Eddie Munster on the 60’s hit television series “The Munsters,” Patrick has graced America’s television screens generation after generation.

Scare It Forward  is a collaborative project that aims to put newly made horror films back into the public domain for all to use.

Last week, television’s “Batgirl”, beloved actress Yvonne Craig passed away from complications after a two year struggle with breast cancer.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Yvonne just a few years ago about her Bat-costume, what it was like working with Vincent Price, Why Adam West wasn’t in the Women’s Equal Pay commercial, and her feelings on the made-for-tv movie, Back to the Batcave.

Monday, August 24th at 6pm ET / 3pm PST on WROM Radio, I’ll air portions of my interview with Craig to pay tribute to a real life superhero, inspiration, and pioneer.

Batman star Adam West took to social media to remember and pay tribute to his co-star.

I was deeply saddened for us to lose Yvonne. It was too soon. She always brought humor and a fine attitude to our stage. She was a joy to work with. A good person. My heartfelt condolences to Yvonne’s family. We will miss her.

Julia Baird stops by to chat about The Beatles, growing up as the sister of John Lennon, and the new documentary “Come Together”. Actress Denise Nickerson reflects on her role as “Violet” in the classic, “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”.

Jace Agolli grew up in Dunswoody, Georgia, and is known by all as an adrenaline junkie.

Jace’s time in the BB17 house may’ve ended faster than you could say, “kickflip underflip,” but that didn’t stop the Venice Beach bro from leaving a lasting impression on his fellow Houseguests.

Having spent a few days out of the house, Jace has had some time to reflect on the events leading up to his Big Brother eviction. Lucky for us, he took some time out of his schedule to fill us in on what he’s been up to, what life was like inside the fishbowl, and what he’d do differently if given another shot.
