Just a very quick post to thank the 100 people that listened to Episode 0 of the KaravanCast during the week!

Queen of the screwballs
To some is Garbo, to some is Dietrich.
For me, when it comes to classic Hollywood beauties, the epitome of 1930s cinema, it is Carole Lombard.
What I think really got me, about Lombard, was her laughter, her being notoriously a prankster. I love funny women (because I love intelligent women, and humor is a sign of intelligence).
Anyway, I’m sure I’ve already bored you to death in the past about Lombard, but this week is special in a sad way – on the 16th it will be the 75th anniversary of the tragic air crash just east of Las Vegas that in 1942 killed 22, including Carole Lombard and her mother.
There’s some stuff coming up – a blogathon, a few posts, but while I am at it, I thought I’d do a photo gallery.
She was, after all, stunningly beautiful. Continue reading
The Saint that didn’t happen
Here’s something that should have happened, but did not.
I am so very sorry and frustrated about this.
The Saint.
Produced by Sir Roger Moore, featuring Moore himself and Ian Ogilvy.
With Adam Rayner as Simon Templar.
And Eliza Dushku (beautiful talented actress, I’d pay to watch her breathe1) as the Saint’s partner in crime.
But apparently the series is on indefinite hiatus – and it’s been since 2014.
Damn!
- does this sound creepy? It does, doesn’t it? ↩
KaravanCast, or how I became a podcaster
The KaravanCast is doing fine with its Episode 0, and as promised, here’s a little more about this new strange adventure of mine.
I started planning a podcast to go with Karavansara one year ago – thinking it would be a fun thing to do in the long hot summer nights.
I started reading on the subject and I started putting together what I needed – the software, the hardware, the courage. I also started pestering my brother, that has some experience in managing online radios, for suggestions and help.
Then, as we know, things took a different turn – but the idea remained.
I only had one major problem – what the heck should my podcast cover? Continue reading
Listen to the radio. Any radio. Now!
I tend to reminisce a lot here on Karavansara, these days, which is not cool, because I’m a fan of the future, and as the poet said, the past is something that never got in my way.
Who knows, maybe it’s the winter, the cold, the darkness.
But there is still room for the future, even when I reminisce.
Fact – just like Journey, I was raised on radio. Back when I was a wee lad, TV was something you turned on at 5 pm to watch Scooby Doo and then The Avengers or The Saint, or I Spy. You get the picture.
Throughout the day, doing my homeworks, reading my books or playing, there was this constant background of radio transmissions, because my mother would keep the radio on for company while doing her chores.
So I am a fan of radio, too. Continue reading
