The Historic Lynwood Podcast

Our guest for the milestone episode number 110, has been around. Spending his youth in Mexico, Germany and, of course, LA, Joseph grew up in a household jam packed with creative energy. His Dad, a lawyer and screenwriter penned the blueprint for the 1967 satirical comedy Waterhole Number Three, starring James Coburn and Carrol O'Connor. He also had an early adaption of The Longest Yard option...

What would one do upon completion of a 3,156 mile, 84 day run across America, specifically from Long Island, NY to Ocean Shores, WA? That (gleeful but injured) one would, in this case, come visit us at the Historic Lynwood Theatre and sit for an hour and talk about it. That is exactly what Islander (BHS class of 2007) Greg Nance did yesterday.  As a nutshell bio Greg, graduating as class president...

"What an incredible Journey", I commented upon completion of our detailed discussion. She began to laugh. I was about to ask what was so funny, when she asked if my pun was intentional. Then I laughed.  All the way from Piqua, Ohio, fledgling filmmaker, writer, dancer and actor Erika Hamilton Loubek joins us for HLT Episode 108. Her Journey (you'll have to listen to be in on it) had...

I ask you: What pod (video) cast is complete without a list or two?  Further, if said pod (video) cast should have the dubious distinction of centering on as broad a subject as the Movies, it is almost mandatory to have one PER EPISODE. I stand amazed that it has taken us seven complete episodes to launch our initial compilation of films. But here it is! Our guest for Episode 107 is a young filmma...

"My Bonnie lies over the ocean" begins our session with the talented, traveled and tireless Executive Director of the Bainbridge Island Arts & Humanities Counsel, Inez Maubane Jones. From her filial history  behind the name, to her current claim to local fame, she is an eloquent speaker, a published author, a TV personality, an editor with a masters in journalism from Temple and a de...

Episode 105. It has always been my thought, the cliche is half-baked, that Professional Cycling shares many a demand faced by those belonging to the Screen Actors Guild. My concept, still in fomentation, is that the bedfellows, while not exactly alike, do share several strange similarities. To wit; They are NOT for everyone. They each require a commitment that asks for their very best. They are NO...

Who says politics and movies don't mix?  Our special guest for Episode 104 is the longest-serving current Governor in America, a former HS QB, Hoopster at Stanford and witness to the most exciting football game of all-time (Washington vs Stanford). Those athletic merits aside, he is also a well-versed fan of the cinema, and especially when the venue is the Historic Lynwood Theatre about 5 min...

Don't forget the Cider!  In Episode 103 we get a visit from stand-up comedian extraordinaire, screenwriter and former Cyber Jock Dan Rosenberg.  Dan will be our MC for the upcoming Dereck Sheen and Chris Kattan Shows on July 2. He is so well versed on this subject that he has even penned a book called, appropriately enough, How to NOT suck at being an Emcee. Here is the link: https://www.amaz...

In Episode 102 we get an entertaining visit from local celebrity (winner of the Eric Hoffer Book Award and a 2019 inductee to the prestigious Island Treasure club), Steve Stolee. Steve shares stories from his colorful past, "I was born in a North Dakota blizzard in 1950", to his present day work with the BPA and the Ten Minute Plays production. Steve has written, produced, directed and p...

The debut cast from the Historic Lynwood Theatre on Bainbridge Island, WA.  In this episode we chat with Far Away Entertainment Prez Jeff Brein. Jeff takes an informative and colorful look at many of the people that have visited the theatre since its opening on July 1, 1936. No typo, 1936! We talk about Charlie Chaplin, Frank Buxton, TJ Fadddis, Dennis James, Steven Spielberg, Chris Kattan and his...
