His best-selling "RUNNING WITH SCISSORS" documents a horrifying childhood, while the previously penned sequel "DRY", named "Best Book of 2003" by "The Advocate", recounts his descent into alcoholism. There are two big surprises. The first is that Burroughs survived to write the books. The second is that they're both hilarious. This Way Out's STEVE PRIDE chats with one of the "25 Funniest People in America" (according to "Entertainment Weekly") about his wild ride (with intro/outro music from "A Little Better" by PAXTON, and a brief "TWO" I.D. and re-intro at about 7:40 into this segment]. . . 14:40 [www.augusten.com =or= www.prideonscreen.com] Closing continuity/credits. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:30 TOTAL PROGRAM TIME. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28:50 ----------------------------Please note-------------------------------- Anyone with questions, suggestions, or *news stories* is encouraged to email Coordinating Producer Greg Gordon at TWOradio@aol.co ----------------------------- thanks! --------------------------------- STATION PROMO COPY: ANNCR: NEXT TIME ON "THIS WAY OUT," THERE'S NO STOPPING MASSACHUSETTS CIVIL MARRIAGE RITES, BUT NEW HAMPSHIRE, MISSOURI AND TENNESSEE COMMIT MARRIAGE WRONGS, WHILE OKLAHOMA OUTLAWS QUEER ADOPTIVE FAMILIES, HAWAI'I'S HOUSING EQUALITY BILL FIZZLES, A CANADIAN "POSTER CHILD"HOOD GENDER VICTIM SUCCUMBS TO DEPRESSION, AND SOUTH AFRICA MOURNS THE PASSING OF ITS BI POP GRIOT...
