Final week to see Season Four shows

For the week of

Sept 07 to Sept 12

The Strombo Show is a question mark this Sunday. George is doing pre-tapes all weekend and most of this next week for The Hour while the TIFF stars are in town promoting their projects and he may or may not have pre-recorded his radio show earlier in the week. It will be fresh but probably not interactive.

A couple of pre-tapes I have seen this weekend so far....
you will see them soon in the coming weeks.

Lebron James

Bill Maher and Larry Charles

Evangeline Lilly

James Cameron

and Spike Lee

One name not mentioned on that list that we saw interviewed by George today wasRobert F Kennedy Jr.
