Mister Ron's Basement #149

Goin' Hollywood this week as we explore funny classic stories that were made into movies! George Ade's 'The Fable of How Uncle Brewster Was Too Shifty for the Tempter' from 1900 may have been the uncredited inspiration for some humorous scenes in an Edward G. Robinson classic film. Time: approx eight minutes Book Relief is an unprecedented, publishing industry-wide effort that will distribute at least five million books to those displaced by the Hurricanes, to schools and libraries supporting the evacuees, and to replenish the schools and libraries ultimately rebuilt in the Gulf Coast. Over 370,000 children are displaced, and over 600 schools destroyed. Help get books back into the lives of those affected by Hurricanes and Floods. Please visit http://www.bookrelief.org to take part in this worthy project. The Book Standard, an online magazine devoted to the Publishing Industry, features Mister Ron's Basement and some other wonderful podcasts in an exploration of Public Domain Podcasting.
