Saturday Night Live; The Old Mount Wilson Trail
Saturday Night Live
“Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night,” has been one of the most recognized sentences in pop culture since 1975. Larry Mantle talks with Tom Shales and James Andrew Miller, co-authors of the new book Live From New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live As Told By Its Stars, Writers and Guests (Little Brown). Shales and Miller bring together all the elements of the show including the backbreaking schedule, the manic energy, and the personalities of the cast, hosts, and musical guests. Tom Shales is a Pulitzer Prize-winning television critic for the Washington Post, and a movie reviewer for NPR’s Morning Edition. James Andrew Miller has written for the New York Times, Life, Newsweek, and was the executive producer of two prime-time television series.

Local historian and hiking expert John Robinson joins Larry Mantle to talk about his books, Sierra Madre’s Old Mount Wilson Trail (Big Santa Anita Historical Society), and Trails of the Angeles: 100 Hikes in the San Gabriels, (Wilderness Press). Robinson is the leading author and historian of the Angeles National Forest, as well as the San Bernardino and San Jacinto ranges.
