Radio Out of the Past News Blast, April 12, 2008

There is much excitement in the Radio Out of the Past community as word has been received that special guest Chuck McKibben's will be joining the virtual audience Thursday, April 17 during the weekly gathering of old time radio enthusiasts.

Chuck McKibben's 45-year career in show business has always been centered around voiceover work...the first nine years as a radio personality, and then, while still only in his mid-20's, as the studio manager and personal recording engineer for the most fabled voice artist of all, Mel ("Bugs Bunny") Blanc. Chuck will recount for us his unforgettable times working in Hollywood with "The Man of 1,000 Voices" and many other legends, such as Jack Benny, Kirk Douglas, Jack Palance, Vincent Price and Rod Serling. Add to this Chuck's 30 years as a producer, director and voice artist in New York, plus known today as an accomplished audiobook actor, and you have a program not to be missed by any OTR fan!

Time: 6:00 p.m. Pacific, 7:00 p.m. Mountain, 8:00 p.m. Central, 9:00 p.m. Eastern and elsewhere in the world Friday 1:00 GMT.
