The recent MIDWEST MEN'S FESTIVAL, with over 150 participants, was the 19th annual gathering for getting back to nature and networking with friends old and new. Reporter BUCK ROWLAND (of "Queer-FM" at KJHK-FM/Lawrence, Kansas, produced with BRAD KOEHLER) shares the spirit with this on-scene report (with outro music from "Never Turn Your Back On Mother Nature" by MARTIN GORE) [7:30]. . . . . . . . . 7:45 SEGMENT #3 - "TWO" I.D. by Olympics diving champ Greg Louganis [:05] + MARGARET CHO's 1995 sitcom "All American Girl" was a first for all-American TV, where the depictions of Asians and women are somewhat narrow, to say the least. The show's demise sent Cho into a sex, drug and alcohol-induced tailspin, but she's turned herself around and her comeback stage show is a sell-out success. A lot of Cho's story is included in her hilarious new performance film "I'm The One That I Want," but she also shared some of it in conversation with This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE (with intro music from "Margaret Cho", the original but rejected theme for her TV sitcom performed by the Ska band "Skankin' Pickle", and outro music from "The One That I Want" from the "Grease" movie soundtrack) [7:45]. . . . . . . . . . 7:50 Closing Continuity/Credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:30 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29:00 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or *news stories* is encouraged to email "TWO" Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon at TWOradio@aol.co ----------------------------- thanks! --------------------------------- STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT", FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP WITH "ALL AMERICAN FAG HAG" MARGARET CHO, AND NETWORKING WITH NATURE AT THE 19TH ANNUAL MIDWEST MEN'S GATHERING...
