The Rad Movie Podcast
The Rad Movie Podcast is centered around the 1986 BMX movie Rad, starring Bill Allen and Lori Laughlin, and directed by Hal Needham. I'm lucky enough to be friends with several members of the cast, and I'll be interviewing them, as well as a variety of other fans, including celebrity fans! You'll hear interviews with Bill, Eddie Fiola, the film's writer Sam Bernard, Hopefully Bart Conner and more. If you love the film, you'll love this podcast, hearing stories of the making of the film and what's happened since, and fan stories.
If you want, there's also a behind-the-scenes audio track called "Rad: Behind The Scenes" available on iTunes and Amazon. Amazon also has the great A Rad Documentary by Chris Phenix.
