WBUR Picks Up Story
June 6th, 2005 by Roderick RussellI was just recently saying to a friend, in regards to doing some new radio promotion, that the audience I need to target is not the rock stations that seem to be so plentiful, but the NPR stations that I hold near and dear. And just like that - poof - the flagship NPR station of the northeast - WBUR in Boston - runs a short bit about my new work-in-progress show.
Apparently the releases that the Flynn Center recently sent out were enough to catch their attention and secure the opening sentence in their June Arts Highlights section with the following phrase: The tip of the iceberg of summer festival programming features some strange stuff, including a guy who dances while swallowing swords.
The WBUR dance critic Debra Cash goes on to say “Not only the oddest looking event of the month, but probably the weirdest of the rest of the year.” Good press if I’ve ever seen it. Debra, you’re on my invite list when I bring the show to Boston.
