In memory of late Philly broadcaster Harry Kalas, we've got a special tribute on this episode of Philly From Scratch: The Podcast from writer Chris Wagenseller.
I was lucky enough to stumble upon Wagenseller reading his essay on Kalas last Tuesday at WineO (447 Poplar St., 215-925-0999), a great little place in Northern Liberties that's been hosting an informal poetry/whatever reading every Tuesday for a few months now.
I was also very lucky that a friend, Josh Rosenzweig, has been smart enough to make recordings of these performances, and got me an MP3 of Wagenseller's reading the next day. Stream it below (go here to subscribe):
