Jeff Wilson and Ohio Legends
Tonight we had as our guest author
Jeff Wilson,
of
Ohio Legends,
Volume 1
and
Volume 2.
Due to technicaly difficulties,
Henry
did a post-show intro to "fill in" the start of the show that did not get taped.
At one point he indictes
my
being "on location" and "at an event," technically the latter being slightly more accurate: I was at an annual Independence Day BBQ at San Pedro friends' place
(where I also tend to cat and house sit now and then);
as the Fourth landed on a Wedneday this year, they figured it'd be more practical to hold it on Saturday.
Playing back the archived podcast, as being on my phone, I wasn't able to write up my Report page
(e.g., this page),
so listening to Henry's post-podcast intro, just as I was thinking running about 22 minutes was a Bit Much
(even Henry refers to it as babbling),
he explained as the show is Rebroadcast during the week, he had to fill up what did not get recorded.
Tonight's Henryism: "re-podcast"...
After playing a commercial break of sorts, the original show "cuts in" as Jeff was speaking of Ohio based group
Devo.
My own audio through my phone, it turns out, was horrendous.
Ceiling Cat Barbara Duncan
reported our having listeners tonight in the US, the UK, Australia, and Unknown.
We discussed actress
Peg Entwhistle
who grew up in Ohio, came to Hollywood and despondant over not having become a star, threw herself from the Hollywoodland sign...
unaware that in the next day's post was a contract for a big movie role...
Amongst other topics, Henry had Jeff speak about
George Armstrong Custer,
the
Dunkleosteus,
the
Haserot Angel,
Osa Wilson's
murder and haunted tombstone, the
Vent Haven Museum
of ventriloquist dummies, which Jeff refers to as the Nightmare Museum.
Jeff stressed that originally his books would exclude paranormal references.
Then he
had his own experience
he relates in the book, which made a believer or him, certainly regarding ghosts.
CC brought up the fact that
White Castle
started up in Ohio
(as well as
Wendys).
Jeff asked if there was anything in Ohio of which I was aware.
I brought up the
beautiful,
brilliant
Nelson Ledges
I'd hiked many years ago,
Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park
near Hiram, Ohio.
Henry brought up
Margaret Hamilton,
giving me the opportunity to speak of her and my friendship the last decade or so of her life, when she lived in Manhatten.
CC brought up the Ohio incident with
real Men In Black.
Meanwhile my audio was getting progressively worse.
Henry focused on some of the cryptids, starting with the
Loveland Frog
creature.
Henry brought up the ghost town known as
Utopia,
which did not go very well.
We segued to the rather bloodless and cluster-eff'ed
Toledo War,
between Ohio and Michigan.
Henry conveyed our guest
next week
would be
Tinamarie Ronan.
As we went to wrap out, I mistook Henry's "give out your site information" being directed at me and not our guest.
As the end theme began, Jeff began to clap, which sounded also as though someone was running for a door.
