She has taught hundreds of wine classes and visited nearly every wine region in the world. Mary is president of International Wine Center, a New York City wine school that offers credentialed wine education for wine professionals and serious wine lovers. MARY EWING-M

Blog post2019: How much do you need to a know about a band beyond the fact that you like their sound? I heard a few tracks from the Canadian group Across the Board and that was enough for me. They just released a new album, Wild Ones, so I invited them on the show today and figured we could just dive in and learn about them together. Jackie Auguste podcast excerpt: "Our new album, 'Wild Ones," is a collection of songs about two things: the internal struggle of being independent, and the externa

Blog postMust be my lifelong resistance to getting stoned, but I’ve never been a huge fan of jam band music. Dave Matthews is okay in small does, as is the Grateful Dead, and to be perfectly honest, I’ve had little exposure to the music of the band Phish—and that’s spelled P-H-I-S-H for those of you who listen regularly but may be musically clueless. PARKE PUTERBAUGH podcast excerpt: "I don't know what struck them about me, but I do know what struck me about them. First, before I ever heard a note o

Blog post2010: No matter on what side of the political fence you sit, today is a day you’ll no doubt long remember: it’s the day a federal health care policy—some would say “system”—emerged after long debate. One day it will likely be remembered as a key accomplishment of President Barack Obama. By sheer luck of timing, my guest today is Cynthia Tucker, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. She is a woman who wears her beliefs on her sleeve, in her newspaper—via syndicat

Blog post2010: When I was a teenager—back during the Ford Administration, if you must know—a time when Peanuts was the best thing going in daily comic strips and years before The Far Side shook up the quiet world of single-panel strips, there was Ziggy. The roly-poly, philosophical mensch was widely quoted, appeared on a zillion greeting cards, had his wisdom collected in books, and came to stand for a certain type of post-Woodstock, pop philosophy. TOM WILSON Jr. podcast excerpt: "She was a preache

Blog postIf you’re worried about the future of comic books, drop by IndelibleComics.com. It’s the online home of one writer and four artists, a place to see examples of their work as well as full graphic novels, plus you can order hard copy of their products. BRENDAN McGINLEY podcast excerpt: "If you're working with good artists, nine times out of ten, you say, 'Wow, I can't believe somebody reached into my head and got what I wanted based on a four-word paragraph!'" As an enterprise, it’

Blog post2010: Can it be only six months ago that Richard Doetsch was a guest on Mr. Media? I remember it well because I was so breathless in my praise and admiration for his then-new novel, The 13th Hour. That story completely blew my mind. I still don’t know how Hollywood is going to squeeze so much storytelling goodness into less than three hours, but I can’t wait to see them try. RICHARD DOETSCH podcast excerpt: "Everyone wants to write a novel. I hate people who talk about they want to do. I th

Blog post2009: What’s so special about Wisconsin, anyway? My home state, New Jersey, has tomatoes, Sinatra, Springsteen, Atlantic City, the Turnpike and The Sopranos. What’s Wisconsin got? Cheese, the Green Bay Packers, cheese, comics, cheese—did I mention cheese? PAUL BUHLE podcast excerpt: "Al Capone vacationed and hid in Wisconsin. And was caught. That should tell you something." I’m not much of a cheese eater or a Packers fan, so—according to my notes—we’re apparently talking about comics i

Blog postI’m going to guess that when Ray McKinnon signed on to play Coach Burt Cotton in the 2009 movie The Blind Side he couldn’t have guessed it would be among the top grossing films of the year and that his co-star, Sandra Bullock, would be nominated for an Academy Award as best actress. Who could have predicted that? RAY McKINNON podcast excerpt: "I never really got to know Sandra Bullock. But I did get to know her security pretty well. And I really liked him. Whenever I felt I needed to talk t

Blog post2010: Let’s face it: we take much of the music heard in movies for granted. With rare exceptions, it’s composed and put in place to complement the story and dialogue, not to overwhelm it. MARIO GRIGOROV podcast excerpt: "I finished mixing Precious in New York City and I drove home to Connecticut. I have two kids; I'm happy to be home and I was going to make pancakes for them one morning. Natasha, my wife, dashed off to buy milk for the pancakes, five minutes away. By the time she came back

Blog post2010: Luis Guzman is the secret weapon behind HBO’s new comedy series, “How To Make It in America.” He is its Alec Baldwin—you know, Jack Donaghy on “30 Rock”—or, in an even more apt comparison, he is its Jeremy Piven, who plays Ari Gold in “Entourage.” Cousin Rene, the somewhat reformed, Dominican gangsta Guzman plays, isn’t in every scene of this new show from “Entourage” creator Mark Wahlberg. But, like Piven, whenever he’s in a scene, he commands your attention. There is no color as bright,

Blog post2010: Ted Raimi is directing Playing Dead but writer Suzanne Keilly is actually playing dead in the new web-only series, Playing Dead. The Groundlings comedy alumnus is a struggling young actress—well, maybe not as young as she’d have you think—when her desperate plea for a job attracts the attention of The Grim Reaper. TED RAIMI podcast excerpt: "I have no idea what's going to happen with the Evil Dead. I wish I could tell you. I know it seems like, because it's my brother, I would know. B

Blog post2010: Jim Gaines and I have lots in common. We both have popular blogs on TrueSlant.com about media topics. We both converted from typewriters to computers at one point in our careers. And, of course, we both were once editor of Time, Life and People magazines. JIM GAINES podcast excerpt: "Content is migrating to the broadband world and the iPad is the first real device that can deliver multimedia content that satisfies. The Amazon Kindle clearly can't do it; the Sony eReader can't do it.&q

Blog post2010: I have to share this story; it made me laugh. I don’t know too much about the boy bands of the late 1990s and early 2000s except that they were extremely popular and that, because my son was born in 1996, I missed that entire era of pop. So I went online to school myself on 98 Degrees, in anticipation of today’s guest, singer Jeff Timmons, joining me on the show to talk about his latest work. JEFF TIMMONS podcast excerpt: "When you dream about being a pop star, it's about having all o

Blog post2010: The last two years have been horribly stressful on the wallets and pocketbooks of Americans, rich and poor. There have been days when most of us felt we were in a financial hole from which we’d never climb out. To be sure, there are still plenty of challenges ahead and many of our friends, family and neighbors are unemployed, struggling to make ends meet. ELIZABETH LEAMY podcast excerpt: "Don't take another 30-year mortgage. Use the savings you get from the lower interest rate and rol

Blog post2010: Howard J. Morris and Jenny Lee didn’t just co-author the new book Women Are Crazy, Men Are Stupid, they actually live together as a couple. My experience, many years removed, is that working on a book with my spouse, a gifted editor, wa s that to continue doing so would generate the title, “Women Are Crazy, Men Are Stupid… Couple is Divorced.” But I digress. HOWARD J. MORRIS podcast excerpt: "As we were writing, I kept thinking, 'This would be a great episode!' Once the book got a rea

Blog post2010: Everything I know about cheerleading, I learned in high school. Well, duhhhhhh! Put another way, I know nothing about cheerleading. I didn’t date any cheerleaders, barely even spoke to them. What would we have talked about, anyway? But, I must hasten to add, I did finish second in voting for prom king in my senior year, so it’s not like I was completely on the outskirts of high school society. CHRISTINA MILIAN podcast excerpt: "I definitely like to work. But for the movie I had to lea

Blog post2009: One of the most daring challenges in writing novels for young adults is transferring the four-color escapades of superheroes to narrative form and still retaining the boldness ad glory of the comic book medium—while adding meat to the bones of the structure. I think Thomas E. Sniegoski (website) accomplished that—and more—with his new novel "Legacy," detailing the generational handover of the “Raptor” crown. "Legacy" is a rip-snorting good roll in the costumed character

Blog post2008: Of the nine books I’ve written, it just occurred to me that the first and last have Pulitzer Prize connections—not for my work, unfortunately, but still… The last was Will Eisner: A Spirited Life, a biography of the American master artist and writer, which featured an introduction by Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Michael Chabon. And my first book, Stadium For Rent, features dozens of editorial cartoons drawn by future Pulitzer Prize winning artist Clay Bennett. Back then, Bennett was po

Blog post2011: I have made it a policy to almost never comment on a woman’s shape, figure or apparent weight loss or – God forbid – weight gain. It’s a no-win situation. But for two reasons, I’m going to make an exception to that policy today in my interview with Amy Parham. First it’s because she’s written a new book called 10 Lessons from a Former Fat Girl: Living with Less of You and More of Life. I figure she opened the door there. AMY PARHAM podcast excerpt: "I'm never going to be a size '0'; I

Blog post2010: Can I be honest with you? The whole “Real Housewives” phenomenon slipped right past me. Oh, I don’t think they missed me; a middle-aged, bald-headed stooge is probably not their key demographic. KELLY BENSIMON podcast excerpt: "('The Real Housewives of New York City') is on Bravo, so it's not on national television. So I think a lot of people recognize me more from Playboy than the show." And I probably wouldn’t have ever gotten interested in any of it but for the March 2010 issu

Blog post2010: Valentine Roncalli is 35 and feeling every bit of her years. While her friends and siblings all have families of their own, she lives in her 80-year-old grandmother’s home, amongst all of her grandmother’s trinkets and memories, running her grandmother’s shoe company. Valentine wants—needs—a man. ADRIANA TRIGIANI podcast excerpt: "Thematically, the two things my books are always about is, Who do you love?, Who do you choose to love? and What do you do with the labor of your own hands?

Blog postBeing a one-named rock star has been good business for Bono, Sting, Flea and, um, Cher. So why not a bald-headed, rap-around sunglasses wearing guy named Fly? FLY podcast excerpt: "I am a bit of a mystery. I've always been attracted to mystery. The Police and U2 created a sense o mystery which enticed people to want to know more." I don't know much about this man whose name reminds me of a 1986 David Cronenberg movie starring Jeff Goldblum. His bio is just a couple of unrevealing

Blog post2009: Something’s wrong with this picture. I’m Mr. Media. I do the interviewing, right? Somehow I’ve booked an interview with LPGA Golf Hall of Famer Amy Alcott to talk about her new book, The Leaderboard—but it turns out the book is a collection of interviews she conducted. Has the whole world gone crazy? On the other hand, this could be my lucky break. I don’t know a damn thing about golf, so maybe it’s a good thing—we can talk about something I do know about. Thank goodness I don’t have to t

Blog post2011: There are a few real name brands in legal mysteries that make book buyers line up and open their wallets. John Grisham, of course. Scott Turow had a piece of the action for many years. And then there is Michael Connelly. He’s got the lawyer thing sewn up with attorney Mickey Haller. He’s also done a series of police fiction featuring LAPD Detective Harry Bosch. MICHAEL CONNELLY podcast excerpt: "Matthew McConaughey wanted to get as far into the character of Mickey Haller as he could.

Blog post2019: Some ideas for history books are sitting right in front of our noses, waiting for a smart writer to recognize opportunity and put the puzzle pieces together. That’s kind of how I imagine Jason Prufer’s new book, Small Town, Big Music: The Outsized Influence of Kent, Ohio, on the History of Rock and Roll, came into existence. JASON PRUFER podcast excerpt: "When people think nk about the history of this town (Kent, Ohio), it all defaults to 'The Incident' -- May 4, 1970. Anything else t

Blog post2011: Photographer Ken Regan was there when Bob Dylan meet Bob Dylan 2.0 – Bruce Springsteen – for the first time. And he was there when the Beatles landed in New York City on that fateful day in February 1964. He also shot pictures at Keith Richards’ 1983 wedding to Patti Hansen and captured images of a Rolling Stone just about as happy, healthy and delighted as you’ll ever see the man. KEN REGAN podcast excerpt: "To have Mick Jagger sitting on a park bench in Central Park -- you don't hav

Blog post2011: There are three possibilities for an up and coming standup comic to make it big in network television. They could get a title vehicle built around and starring them, such as “Whitney” for Whitney Cummings or “Louie” for Louie C.K. They could create a show which is based on their life, uses their actual name, but stars someone else as them, saving them from taking the blame if it fails, while still earning them big bucks if it succeeds. That would be Chelsea Handler’s “Are You There Vodka?

Blog post2011: SyFy has been on a roll these last few years when it comes to original series. Eureka, Warehouse 13 and Haven are all big hits and much enjoyed in my own household. So it was only a matter of time before the network unleashed a new concept: “Being Human.” In this case, the show about a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost sharing living quarters sounds silly on paper but it comes to us with an established history; it’s actually adapted from a British series of the same name.

Blog post2010: Keith Powell plays 30 Rock's Toofer on the NBC sitcom. He’s one of the comedy writers on “TGS,” the show-within-the-show.His nickname refers to his position on the staff: he’s both a Harvard grad and a minority, hence a two-for-one hire for human resources. That said, however, Toofer gets no respect, no respect at all. Powell himself, however, gets plenty of respect. He founded the Contemporary Stage Company in Wilmington, Delaware, and has produced, directed or performs in plays starring

Blog post2010: Sometimes I think I grew up in some alternate reality. There was no Internet when I was in my teens—we barely had FM radio and UHF television reception in Central Jersey and cable TV was unheard of—but somehow I managed to find plenty of inappropriate media influences. I read comic books by the pile, which soon led me to investigate other newsstand publications. I knew about Playboy from my dad’s stash in the attic, and was a very young subscriber. I also discovered an antiestablishment h

Blog post2010: Locating a hard rockin’ band in the middle of country music lovin’ Nashville, Tennessee, was either really dumb or really smart. I guess I’m going with pretty smart, because if you’re good at being different, you can really stand out in a scene where everyone else sounds similar. And make no doubt about it, the six-piece band November doesn’t sound anything like the music they play at the Grand Ol’ Opry. November rocks! HUNTER BRILEY podcast excerpt: "Erik said, 'November is an old de

Blog post2011: I wasn’t really sure about the right way to introduce today’s guest, Joel Fishman. Ultimately, I opted to be straight forward, so here it is: I owe a good deal of my success as a published author to Joel Fishman. JOEL FISHMAN podcast excerpt: "On some level, people with an agenda on this issue, none of them would be 100 percent happy with me. The protagonist's sympathy is not 100 percent with the animal rights people... I don't want to be pigeonholed as the animal rights activist, jus

Blog post2010: Lots of former baseball players write books about their glory days as a player. And many of those books are as much about their off-field careers as what happened between the foul lines. Womanizing, incessant drinking, shooting steroids, pranks, grudges—that’s Jim Bouton/Jose Canseco territory. If that’s your idea of a baseball book, steer clear of Doug Glanville’s story, The Game from Where I Stand. His tale is more personal, more heartfelt and far more clear-eyed. But what would you exp

Blog post2010: “Outsourced” did not get the initial reaction that NBC desired for a new Thursday night sitcom, given the plum, post-“The Office” slot it received on the fall schedule. Most years, every new NBC sitcom slipped into “Must See TV” Thursday gets a cold shoulder from the critics just because its not “30 Rock” or “The Office.” Just ask the cast of “Community,” which was widely derided and ignored when it started a year ago and now is one of TV’s most consistent silliness fests.
