Where Have You Gone?

Where Have You Gone? - Feedback

We take a dive into the feedback we've received on our first season. And if we run out, we're going to call YOU for feedback!

Previewing Season 2 of Where Have You Gone?

Changes are in store for the second season of Where Have You Gone? We will still focus on the stories and storytellers of people, places, and things gone but not forgotten or forgotten but not gone. We will still look for connections to literature and the mid-20th century. But the episodes will be shorter and with more emphasis on travel and places. Join us on the journey!

Where Have You Gone, Dorothy Fuldheim? ft. Donna Halper

As an interviewer, lecturer, newswoman, author, and commentator, Dorothy Fuldheim carved out a groundbreaking career on radio and television. She has been called "The First First Lady of Television News". It has been said she "ruled Cleveland TV with her tart-tongued news commentaries, no-nonsense interviews, and her own brand of performance journalism."​

Where Have You Gone, Walter Matthau? ft. Audrey Kupferberg

From the 1950s to 1990s, Walter Matthau created a treasure of film performances both comedic and dramatic. His Oscar-winning role as Whiplash Willie Gingrich in The Fortune Cookie and iconic turn as Oscar Madison in Neil Simon's The Odd Couple elevated him from character actor to leading man. Much of his early work on stage, TV, and film ranks with his later successes. We'll focus on his entire career as we ask, where have you gone, Walter Matthau?

Where Have You Gone, Blake Edwards? ft. Maureen Lee Lenker and Oriana Nudo

Blake Edwards is probably best known for the Pink Panther films starring Peter Sellers, but they are just part of a varied filmography as writer and director stretching from the 1950s to the 1990s. Whether comedy or drama, western or mystery, Edwards returned to common themes, including the splurch, gender bending, and topping the topper, throughout his films.

Where Have You Gone, Howard Rodman? ft. Adam Rodman

In 1980, Howard Rodman was honored with the prestigious Laurel Award for TV Writing Achievement by the Writer’s Guild of America. Writing for radio, television, and film, Rodman spanned the late days of the Golden Age of Radio, through the infancy of television, to the early age of the TV showrunners. His fine writing impacted shows from Naked City and Route 66 to Harry O. His passion is reflected in his writing and much of it can still be enjoyed today.

Featuring Adam Rodman, an award-winning screenwriter and Howard’s son.

Where Have You Gone, Jack Webb? ft. Dan Moyer

Even if you don't know of Jack Webb, you will likely recognize the iconic four notes (dum, da dum dum) that begin the theme of his most famous creation, Dragnet. From its radio premiere in 1949 to television to film, Dragnet has been with us and remains with us today. But there is much more to Jack Webb than Dragnet and his character, Sgt. Joe Friday. His other work may not be as easily recognized as Dragnet, but fortunately it is still largely available to us today.

Featuring Dan Moyer, author of Just the Facts, Ma'am

Where Have You Gone, Jack Warden? ft. Bob Gale

During the second half of the 20^th century, Jack Warden evolved into an award-winning actor and made his mark on stage, television, and film. An Emmy Award winner and twice nominated for an Academy Award, Warden worked with great writers and directors, in particular Rod Serling and Sidney Lumet. In portrayals from Juror #7 in 12 Angry Men to Luke and Roy L. Fuchs in Used Cars, Warden had a career worth remembering.

Featuring Academy Award nominated screenwriter and producer Bob Gale, co-writer of Used Cars and the Back to the Future trilogy.

Where Have You Gone, Nat King Cole ft. Nick Vega

The five-tool player is usually applied to a baseball player who can hit, hit for power, run, field, and throw, but National Public Radio has applied the term to the legendary entertainer Nat King Cole. Mary McCann wrote that Cole was originator of the guitar/bass/piano trio format, an influential pianist, a barrier-breaker between jazz and popular music, and a multimedia superstar. Songs such as “Straighten Up and Fly Right”, “Nature Boy”, “Get Your Kicks on Route 66,” “Unforgettable” and “The Christmas Song” are the tip-top of a musical legacy we can still enjoy today on CDs, albums, and YouTube. Cole has also been called the Jackie Robinson of television. He has been gone over 50 years, but his music and other accomplishments can still entertain and inspire us today.

Featuring Nick Vega, curator of This is Nat King Cole, a Grammy Museum Exhibition

Where Have You Gone, Forbes Field? ft. Greg Brown

From June 30, 1909 to June 28, 1970, Forbes Field was home to the Pittsburgh Pirates, but it was much more than a baseball place. There was football, boxing, and religion. It was the key location for President Dwight D. Eisenhower's favorite film. Today, decades after the park was demolished, it remains a popular destination and historic on the University of Pittsburgh campus. Join us for a trip to Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood to ask, where have you gone, Forbes Field.

Featuring Greg Brown, Play-By-Play Announcer for the Pittsburgh Pirates
