Award winning film maker, Jeff Nichols with "Shotgun Stories"

Joyce Elliott is back on the Political scene
It's not like she died, or anything like that, but she was "term limited" out of the legislature. That catches up with good and bad lawmakers alike. Elliott was recently elected to state senate in Little Rock. We discussed education, drinking, gambling, economic development and a lot more. It is a delightful visit. (32 min.)

Tim Jackson is "Looking for Lurch"
You may recall Tim Jackson from "Where's my Close-Up, Mr. Thornton?" It was a very popular and amusing short feature. It won accolades (but no money) in the Little /Rock Film Festival. Now Tim has taken to exploiting animals. (Only Joking.) You will never believe the story of Lurch. I might also add that part of this interview is my shameless attempt to patch things up with Ray McKinnon.
This is yet another delightful segment. (32 min.)
Writer-Director Ray McKinnon grovels for Lyncho
Desperate to rejuvenate his career, Ray McKinnon, who has enjoyed some success as a film writer and actor, visited the Pat Lynch Show in hopes of boosting his latest effort, Randy and the Mob.
