I do have a new episode of "The Music and the Movies," this one devoted to music (and a couple of voices) from films adapted from the work of Edgar Allan Poe. Karloff & Lugosi, Roger Corman employing Vincent Price, Fellini losing his head – it’s all there, plus a few obscurities. Listen at the Voice of Vashon website, where it will live for another week or so.

And we have the second quarterly installment of Zeitgeist 22!, online talks from Scarecrow Video. Our subject is "International Treasure: The Massive Talent of Nicolas Cage," in which I consider the actor’s singular career. That’s Wednesday night, June 22 at 7 pm Pacific Time, online and free.
