If you’ve lived in L.A. anytime in the last thirty years, you know Angelyne. She’s the blonde bombshell on the billboards that used to be studded like rhinestones all over the city. Angelyne rose to prominence in the ‘80s, and she was a mashup of elements from the pantheon of Hollywood starlets: platinum hair, an hourglass figure, and a breathy, cooing voice. But Instead of a movie or a TV show or an album, Angelyne’s billboards just advertised herself.

A ninth-grader named Kate Wolf interviewed Angelyne at the height of her popularity by pretending she was a reporter for her school newspaper. Twenty-five years later, Kate wins a raffle for a ride in Angelyne’s hot-pink Corvette and asks Angelyne the tough questions about truth, image, aging, and her career as a looming pink archetype of gender.

"Old Men Stories" is not just about old men. It conjures up the image of someone who’s been through it all, seen it all, and survived it all. That wisdom comes with age – but all age is relative.   You don’t have to be old, you don’t have to be male – you just have to live the story and survive to tell the tale!  Join master storytellers Roland Willits and Jeff Young on this week's journey… Storytelling Theme: Used Cars We want to hear YOUR “Old Men Stories!” The second half of each show is set aside for sharing stories we receive.

It's nearly Valentine's Day, and a sense of "deja vu" has fallen over the Studio City Panera Restaurant - it's the MDWK one year anniversary! Last year, on this very day, Kenny and Steven recorded their first podcast, and now, a full year later, they meet again, discussing Los Angeles theatre, Justin Beiber, dead celebrities, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Oreos. BJ Hunstad joins with some earth shattering stories, and everyone laughs so hard that Kenny nearly dies. Thanks for joining us for another episode!
