FORUM w/ Michael Krasny recently had a show devoted to PLAYLAND AT THE BEACH if anyone’s interested – http://www.kqed.org/epArchive/R201003191000
Features the following guests –
James Smith, San Francisco historian and author of “San Francisco’s Lost Landmarks” and the forthcoming book, “San Francisco’s Playland at the Beach: the Early Years”
Marv Gold, former employee of Playland at the Beach and member of the Playland-Not-at-the-Beach advisory board
Richard Tuck, master of fun at Playland-Not-at-the-Beach in El Cerrito, a museum and amusement center which houses thousands of artifacts from Playland at the Beach
Tom Wyrsch, filmmaker behind the documentary, “Remembering Playland at the Beach”
Actually, it’s Scott Schaeffer (sp?), not Krasny, who is holding court for this segment of FORUM.
Thanks, Adam. There was also a radio show on KGO about the movie and Playland. You can listen to it here:
