August 04, 2024 Night of the Mendo UFOs
SnapSessions! presents Episode 58—a special podcast for us. We take a look at a bizarre night in Mendocino’s history, an evening we are calling “Night of the Mendo UFOs”. SnapSessions! presents an in depth exposé of a time in the Fall of 1978 when the Mendocino Coast was haunted by a series of UFO sightings remembered by 9 Northcoast citizens including me, Doug Nunn. In addition, SnapSessions! places this in the history of UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon), recent US congressional hearings with Navy and Air Force pilots, as well a look at the place of UFOs in the history of Science Fiction since that big surge of flying saucer sightings in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

December 19, 2022 Holiday Special! The Nutclucker
SnapSessions! podcast for December 2022 presents an encore of a holiday treasure: “Tchickclucksky’s The Nutclucker & Other Chicken Holiday Treats”, a production of Rothman’s HenHouse in association with Large Child Productions. The Nutclucker was the inspiration of Harry “Henny Bockman” Rothman, a player and director of Mendocino’s Hit & Run Theater. Harry was an accomplished chicken imitator and starred in many of Hit & Run’s skits over time, especially any of them involving poultry. In 1995 he approached Doug Nunn to help him produce a chicken-cluckin’ version of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite and to combine that with chicken-cluckin’ versions of various Christmas carols. Thus was spawned “The Nutclucker”, which included singers Marilou “Bockbird Broiler”, Jim “Hard Broiler” Brewer, Sandy “Cluckfeld” Glickfeld, Ana “Henna” Lucas, Harry “Poutriotti” Rothman, and Doug “Cluck” Nunn, was engineered by Jim Rote-Tisserie.
