Whims of Resistance
A seriously whimsical blend of humor, parody, comic relief, and news about the growing resistance movement. Plus, as a bonus, it’s a place for indulging in nostalgia, with the “A Look Behind in Rewind” podcast series that’s reminiscent of the late great Jean Shepherd of WOR-Radio. Tom’s stories range from childhood escapades to college hijinks to crazy tales from film/broadcast/ad agency days, including interviews with American Bandstand mogul Dick Clark and others. “A Look Behind in Rewind” podcast lengths are generally 8-10 minutes; other pieces vary in length, depending on subject matter.
