THAT TIME . . . : My Oz Article Made the Today Show Website
Hey, kids. Welcome to a new label, THAT TIME . . ., which will be devoted to occasional instances of supreme weirdness, cool events, or odd occurrences that may or may not be writing-related. Here's a good example: That time my Oz article made the Today Show website. My recollection of the relationship between Whomever Owned Newsarama in 2009 and The Today Show is lost in the mists of time, and I don't care to look it up. But apparently there was some sort of reciprocal agreement that allowed Today to post certain articles on their site. That happened with me a few times, but this one, IIRC, was targeted for attention. With the (then) 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz film coming up, I did a piece about its influences. Soon after, it went to the House of Roker. Over time, I had a few articles that made that leap, but this remains one of my favorites. It's not dissimilar from the stuff that I still do today for The Saturday Evening Post . At any rate, enjoy. https://www
