Tuesday's Overlooked A/V: films, television and more...

La ragazza che sapeva troppo
The weekly assembly of links to blogposts, reviews, essays, podcasts and other items of interest about audio/visual work, usually first-rate and deserving of one's attention but sometimes less so and sometimes deserving of obscurity, up to and including opera, stage drama, conventions, museum exhibits, videogames (and boardgames), and more. Thanks to all who have produced the items linked to below! And please let me know if I've missed yours or someone else's.  

A useful resource I stumbled across the other week, but forgot to mention to those who might also be interested, Paul Di Filippo mentioned on a discussion list, an online archive of Broadcasting magazine, 1931-2002.  Todd Mason

  8. Precisely why I try to cast a wide net, Ruth...though I find it can be challenging in several ways. Thanks, for the good word and your own work on your blog.
