I never thought when I started doing radio that I would ever interview someone as successful as Nicolay. Well I was wrong and here is the interview to prove it! Nicolay has a great perspective on U.S. politics being from overseas all of you should listen carefully.

Local Detroit filmmaker Lawrence Lamont Jenkins recently released his first short film titled Patzer. After watching I was very inspired to speak with the dude. Also be on the look out for some new projects this young man is working on and keep an eye out for a possible entry into the Sundance Film Festival.

Have you ever wanted to go to the moon? Well Paul and his open source organization are all working to make that a reality for all of us. Listen to my story I did for WXOU News or you can check out the unedited version beneath that. Together I hope we can all learn a little bit more about our moon.

unedited interview with Paul Graham:

All I have to say is I wish this interview could have gone into the early hours of the morning. The whole group is so fascinating. Their live performance is also a treat. They use a diverse array of sounds and styles and bring it all together like it was meant to be! If you have a chance you should definitely check the video I took of thier live performance on my myspace ( myspace.com/roborobb ) they sound great!

This was the first group I linked up with when I got down to Charlotte. I want to give a big thank you to Royer, without him I wouldn’t have known about some of these groups I have been interviewing. All the guys in the band are very nice and deserve all the success they achieve. This interview might be hard to hear. We did this back stage at a huge metal show at the Tremont Music Theater. I hope I can interview these guys more as the years progress. But for now this will have to do!

This interview was very interesting and the atmosphere is great in the Waffle House. I was very surprised by the answers to my questions I think you might be too. This is the raw unedited version as opposed to the one that was aired on WXOU. I think you will enjoy listening to this interview as much as I enjoyed the waffles!

So I just typed out this recipie and thought since I spent the time I might as well share it with everyone!

Chicken Paprikash:

Ingredients:
-1 whole chicken
-Paprika (hot or mild)
-1 onion
-a bag of tarhonya (egg barley maneshewitz brand in the Kosher section of your grocer will work)
Butter
Water
Salt and pepper
Sour cream

step one: dice up the onion and brown it in a huge pot. With butter or you can substitute olive oil.

Step two: cut the chicken into 1/8ths… Cover chicken on both sides with paprika and brown chicken outside.

Step three: cover the chicken and onions with water just until chicken is covered. Put a lid on it and turn to a simmer.

Step four: melt butter in pan and brown tarhonya (or egg barley)… Proceed by following instructions on package every noodle is different.

Step five: cook until chicken is tender

Servings: serve chicken over tarhonya and use the water you cooked the chicken in as gravy over the chicken and noodles… For a richer flavor mix in sour cream after it is at the table to taste and salt n pepper to taste!!!

Enjoy!

This summer I was very busy collecting stories that I could air on WXOU in the Fall to help our news director out. My home girl Kirby “Kirbalicious” Hairston host of the 1 o’clock take over suggested I do a story on Wizard Rock. I had previously never even heard of such a thing and was intrigued enough to google “Wizard Rock Michigan” and the first group that popped up was Tonks and the Aurors. After sending a myspace message to Stephanie (the founder of Tonks and the Aurors) in the matter of just a few days I was making a trip to the lovely city on Ann Arbor to interview her. Below you will find the story I produced on Wizard Rock and beneath that is the full unedited interview for all of you who would like to know more! Enjoy!

Even at Harry Potters School there's the rock n' roll crowd!

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Eugine and Augie (from the Hard Lessons) and learning more about the School of Rock. They are out here doing a lot of good for the kids. Take a listen, I would enjoy some feedback since I am still getting used to doing audio articles, lemme know what you think!
