Interview with Dr. Blogstein
By: Bernadette Giacomazzo

Dr. Blogstein’s Radio Happy Hour debuted on BlogTalkRadio on February 13, 2007. The weekly internet radio program airs live each Tuesday night at 9:00 pm Eastern.

The Radio Happy Hour is described as “quick witted, high concept and laugh inducing conversation. Plus interviews with some of the biggest (and wackiest) names in movies, music, TV, sports, books, politics and the net.”

I recently had a chance to sit down with the good doctor to talk to him about his top-rated online radio show.

When you get presented with an interview request, or a feature request, what are some of the deciding factors you take into account? In other words, how would you decide whether or not to interview, say, Warren G or Shirley MacLaine?

Much like my love life, I’m really in no position to be turning anyone down.

Anyone with name recognition gets on automatically-I’d be a fool to turn them down. The best way I’ve found to build an audience is to attract new listeners to the show with the flashy guest and then lock them in with the whole experience-my cohosts, the live chatroom, the games and prizes, etc.

Tell us a little about your co-hosts.

In June of 2007, I booked Dangerous Lee as a guest to promote her urban advice column. She was sassy, funny and smart and one of the best segments we ever had. She mixed it up with us real well. Then, that fall, when my original cohost left the show to concentrate on her writing, Dangerous Lee was the only one I thought of to replace her. Luckily for everyone, she agreed!

Vinny Bond was an original Radio Happy Hour listener and caller. We brought him on weekly to be the “go-between” the audience in our live chatroom and the on air hosts and guests.

In an unbridled interview with Radio Happy Hour host Dr. Blogstein, the Oscar-winning actor reveals why he slipped up this summer and let the secret to his youthful appearance slip on live national television.

When Steve Doocy of Fox News Channel’s Fox & Friends asked Enrie in August, “You’re 91 years old.  You look fantastic… What’s the secret?” the McHale’s Navy star shot back, “I don’t dare tell you. I masturbate a lot.”

Now Ernie explains to Dr. B that he had no idea the retort would be heard ‘round the world.

“I’ve always said so many times, amongst friends, that’s what I do because it keeps me young. And everybody would fall down laughing for a while.  And that was it.  Everybody would get a good laugh.

“Well, this one fella kept it up at Fox News – ‘Oh, you gotta tell me! You gotta tell me!’ So, without remembering that I had a microphone on, I leaned over and I told him,” continues Ernie, whose autobiography, Ernie, was published in July.

“Well, you should have seen the fellas behind the camera. They fell on the floor! They couldn’t believe what I’d said.  And I looked at them and said, Why would they collapse like that? And suddenly I remembered the mic.”

Ernie also says that, despite being a nonagenarian, he has no aversion to playing a stud on the silver screen.

When Dr. B asks him, “If they were to write a good script, would you still play a love-story part?” Ernie’s replies:

“Hey, listen, if they could see me as a love story, believe me, I’d do it!”

Reality Check Radio

If Artie’s out, who’s in?

by Craig

Newsday’s Pop Culture blog, Pet Rock, speculated recently on who would replace Artie Lange on the Howard Stern Show, assuming the Hoboken comedian really is leaving the show.

If Artie leaves, it would be a big chair to fill, literally and figuratively. Who would be a good fit?

Pet Rock plays it straight, suggesting regulars Greg FitzSimmons, Nick Dipaolo, Bob Levy, Jim Florentine and John Hein. All are well-known to Stern listeners, and of the five, only one – Hein – isn’t a working stand-up comic.But why give up on Hoboken? We’d like to nominate Adam Wade or Chris DeLuca for the post. Both are professional comedians and each would bring a distinctive voice to the show. And if they’re looking to go in an entirely different direction, how about Dr. Blogstein? He’s got plenty of (Internet) radio experience, much of it relevant to the Howard Stern Show.

(RIPON, CA) Disgraced California Pastor, Randall “Father Felony” Radic, announced today that he signed a deal with Ephemera Bound publishers of Fargo, ND to publish his memoir, “The Sound of Meat”. The book will be released on June 30, 2007.

Radic, who made national news back in 2005 for fraudulently selling the deed to church out from under his congregation, had been on a quest for nearly a year to get his life story published.

His goal of getting published took a step in the right direction when web sensation Dr. Blogstein made public an introductory email that Radic had sent him.

What followed were several appearances on www.DrBlogstein.com, including an exclusive interview last July. Radic’s story was also picked up by respected publishing blogs Grumpy Old Bookman and Books, Inq.

Up until now, “The Sound of Meat” was only available as an e-book through Cool Publications.

As you’ll recall, because it was only two days ago and because I wont stop reminding you, I was such a huge hit that Alan Levy, the CEO of Blog Talk Radio, called in to offer me my own show (which will debut next month!)

But back to this morning’s show, click here then go to the player on the right hand side of the page. Press play and fast forward to the 15:40 mark to where they begin talking about yours truly. You’ll here things like David Odeen of “My Point” saying that my appearance was a “huge success” and Jenn of the Jungle of “Screw Politically Correct BS” saying that I have a “great radio voice.” I couldn’t agree with them more!

Keep listening though, because at the 17:43 mark you’ll hear Jenn refer to our Jewish Puerto Rican African Indian American Princess Tisha as a “stalker.” Uh oh! I do hope Jenn knows what kind of wrath she’s opened herself up for!

We may have to settle this when Dr. Blogstein’s Radio Happy Hour debuts in February on Blog Talk Radio!

Have I mentioned that I have a new show coming?

UPDATE 1/19/07 According to David Odeen of “My Point Radio”, my appearance on his show was his most downloaded show ever! He indicates that I “blew away” his previous high.
