One of the print articles on Jules I assisted with...(Thanks to Pastor Rodriguez)

I have been off the charts busy this week, with the passing of Jules....

Busy day today!  Look for a nice article on Jules in the New York Times to most likely be published online tonight (I will share) and then in the newspaper over the weekend.   I think this may be the best researched to date.  I assisted with Children’s & Family Awards The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences tonight!  They want to honor Jules in December (I suggested Paul Coker, Jr. too).  NPR had me on the radio Wednesday night (Clips from older interviews I did).  The CBC radio show "As it happens" wants to have me on their show soon.  Juggling all sorts of other things here too!  I am expecting the Jack Davis Mad Monster Party shirts to arrive by Saturday.   I will be at the Wheaton All-Night Flea Market at 3 pm Saturday until around 1:30 am or so!   Come on out!  Oh yeah, may be appearing at HOLLYWOOD BLVD. in December.  I will post details. My Rankin/Bass Holiday display goes up at the Orland Park Public Library for the 3rd year in early November too!

I just did an interview with a writer at the New York Times about Rudolph (will run in early November), some of which may end up in the Wall Street Journal too. I have been doing lots of interviews lately and I always enjoy them 🎅 #rudolphtherednosedreindeer

Media requests 🎅🎄⛄❄

 

I am ready for my annual Holiday radio and TV interviews!   I can help with magazine and newspaper articles as well!   Last year I did somewhere between 75-100 radio interviews across the country and a dozen national and local TV Appearances.   We do have a Press request form right here http://miserbros.com/press/

We also have Press releases about my books, including a brand new press release on my newest book, The Arthur Rankin, Jr. Scrapbook:  The Birth of Animagic hardcover.   If you would like to spice up your holiday radio and TV programming and go behind the scenes on the Rankin/Bass Holiday TV specials and films, I am your man!   I could talk at length about all the changes made to the Rudolph TV Special 50 years ago this year, in 1965.   I can talk about Rankin/Bass' Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town on it's 45th Anniversary!  I can also talk about the fact that Rankin/Bass' Frosty the Snowman is 46 this year, BUT the Blu Ray and DVD releases incorrectly say 45th Anniversary!   Someone can not count, just like Frosty in the sequel Frosty's Winter Wonderland, where he skates a figure 9.  Paul Coker, Jr. and I already did a holiday interview for MARKETPLACE/NPR'S MORNING SHOW, so listen for that!   Look forward to talking to many others this great Holiday season!

I am told that the NEW YORK TIMES article on Arthur Rankin, Jr. may hit the internet tonight and the papers either tomorrow or Thursday.  I wasn't interviewed by the writer BUT I know Maury Laws was...I did supply the photographs.   The LA TIMES article written by Elaine Woo should hit the paper tomorrow BUT there is a chance it may not be until Thursday too.
