A new link has shown up in the blogroll, the nicely named Slow Boat to the Land of Parting Gifts. Greg Palmer, a North Carolina State student and fervent game show fan, interviews various folks in the business. Right now he's getting some buzz for an interview with Roger Dobkowitz, longtime producer on The Price is Right and other shows.
Roger dishes dirt on Gene Rayburn, who apparently had a rocky relationship with the Dob. As you might expect, that has set off some chatter on the game show Internets.
But Greg's blog offers a lot of other interviews as well. I like the chat with Todd Newton, for instance, especially when Todd challenges Greg's opinion that Whammy was a failure. After all, Whammy's still on TV, albeit in reruns.
Hope you enjoy the interviews, even if the blog is overloaded with videos. My browser has a little trouble with the site. But the difficulties are minor, and it's fun to read the comments from people who try to make a living in our little genre.
