PBS Piece Now Online


The recent KET/PBS segment on Louisville Life about yours truly is now available on the web via streaming video by clicking here. I was powerfully hung over during the seated interview portions, having closed the place down at Seviche Goose Creek the night before. There was supposed to have been a day of shooting footage at the Pope Lick trestles, but that fell through because of my car exploding in my face last month, after which I spent a couple weeks hiding from the world, doing nothing but zoning out on the couch eating gelato and watching Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.

Producer Jayne McClew did a great job with the piece, though, especially considering how little I gave her to work with. I'm also glad I managed to work in lots of opportunities to show footage of the Mellwood Art Center.

JSH on PBS again


From the KET Press Room:

Jeffrey Scott Holland, author of Weird Kentucky, shares some of the Commonwealth's strangest tales on the next edition of Louisville Life, airing Thursday, Oct. 30 at 7:30/6:30 p.m. CT on KET2; Saturday, Nov. 1 at 7/6 p.m. CT on KET1; and Sunday, Nov. 2 at noon/11 a.m. CT on KET2.

Holland uncovered the stories behind the myths of the Pope Lick goatman, a half-man half-goat reported to live beneath a railroad trestle at Pope Lick Creek; giant Jim Porter, who stood close to 8 feet tall; and the day it rained meat in Kentucky. The author also discusses his successful art career and why he prefers to live in Louisville and commute to his coastal art galleries.

Louisville Life is a KET production, produced and directed by Gary Pahler. Jayne McClew is producer/writer; associate producer is Kelli Brodersen. More information about Louisville Life, including streaming video, is available at www.ket.org/loulife.
