Through the month of February, we will devote one weekend segment of the Morning Show podcast to remembering Dr. Yuri Maltsev, Professor of Economics at Carthage College since 1991 and a frequent guest to the Morning Show - who passed away on January 25th at the age of 72.   This is (I believe) the first of Professor Maltsev's visits to the program- dating from the fall of 2001.  

From 2011-  Patricia Bosworth, author of "Jane Fonda: The Private Life of a Private Woman."  Fonda is one of the stars of a new film,  "80 for Brady," which opens this weekend in movie theaters across the country.  

We have a three-part series devoted to THE WIZARD OF OZ.  1) We preview the Lakeside Players's production that opens this weekend and runs for two additional weekends.   2) We play an excerpt from a 2005 interview with Meinhardt Raabe, who played the Coroner in the classic 1939 film. His memoir is titled "Memories of a Munchkin: An Illustrated Walk Down the Yellow Brick Road.  3)  We play an excerpt from a conversation with Randall McLowry and Tracy Heather Stein about their documentary film "American Oz: The True Wizard Behind the Curtain," which aired on American Experience and can still be viewed on pbs.org.   

Bob Delaney, author of 'Heroes are Human: Lessons in Resilience, Courage and Wisdom from the COVID Front Lines." 

Dr. Art Cyr, from the faculty at Carthage College, joins us for his first monthly visit of 2023.  Our conversation begins with a tribute to Dr. Cyr's longtime faculty colleague and friend Dr. Yuri Maltsev, who recently passed away.   (We will be sharing recordings of a couple of Dr. Maltsev's Morning Show conversations this coming weekend.)  

Jim Campbell, author of "Madoff Talks: Uncovering the untold story behind the most notorious ponzi scheme in history." 

In a departure from our normal routine, here is an example of a program I did during my first years at WGTD .... "Music-A Closer Look," a 60-minute documentary series that I did when it was no longer possible for our station to carry the very popular program "Adventures in Good Music with Karl Haas."   This particular installment of "Music-a Closer Look" was recorded and broadcast in the spring of 1991- and has not aired since!  

From 2009- Edward McPherson, author of "The Backwash Squeeze and other Improbable Feats: a Newcomer's Journey into the World of Bridge."  

"1,000 Facts about Space" - "Chloe's Lunar New Year" -  "Paws of Courage." 

From 2009-  Kelly Corrigan, author of "The Middle Place,"  a memoir in which she talks about her struggle with cancer - a battle she fought concurrently with her father's own similar battle with the disease.
