Show No. 154 Sept. 19-25, 2012

First hour: Ed welcomes singer/actress Kat Kramer, founder of Kat Kramer’s Films That Change the World, a series of motion picture screenings that raise awareness about important social issues — a sensibility that Kat inherited directly from her father, legendary producer/director Stanley Kramer. Kat will be performing along with Le Petit Cirque at Circus PAWS at the Avalon Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday, Sept. 30 beginning at 7pm. Also in this hour: Tony Figueroa and Donna Allen with a look back at M*A*S*H, which premiered on CBS 40 years ago This Week in History. Second hour: Ed welcomes actress, author and comedienne Geri Jewell, Cousin Geri on The Facts of Life and a pioneer who has opened many doors over the past 30 years, not only for people with disabilities, but also women in general. Geri 's book, I’m Walking as Straight as I Can: Transcending Disability in Hollywood and Beyond, is a very candid and poignant look at the many obstacles that she has overcome in her life and career, including living with cerebral palsy. Also in this hour: Greg Ehrbar's DVD report.
