Hannah Ellis - Wine Country

Episode 210 - Celia Welch, Sylvan Lake Vineyards, Scarecrow Wine + More

The first half of the show, KGUA public radio show host Leigh Anne Lindsey speaks with returning Program Director of the Mendocino Film Festival, Claudia Puig, about the events, parties, and films at this year's ongoing festival in the oceanside town of Mendocino in Mendocino County. Wine, waves, and wonder! 

In the second half, we aired episode #106 from Blue Frontier's Rising Tide podcast which is an interview with the Exec. Dir. of the International Ocean Film Festival, Anna Blanco, who has a film in progress with Blue Frontier's Exec. Dir. Natasha Benjamin called "Sequoias of the Sea" that raises awareness about the devastation of bull kelp along the Northern California coast of Sonoma and Mendocino Counties, and what people and organizations are doing to help bring those forests back. 

Also in this podcast is Sarah Norenberg, the director of ‘Orca – Black & White Gold,’ one of the exciting documentaries that played at the recent 21st Int'l Ocean Film Fest in San Francisco about how Russian activists saved 100 whales slated to be sold to Chinese aquarium parks, and instead got them released back into the wild. A true life ‘Free Willy’ film plus some good talk about ocean documentaries. (Sarah was production manager on Sea of Shadows by Richard Ladkani whom we interviewed on KGUA when that film was shown in the Mendocino Film Festival years ago. He's currently been traveling & filming with Jane Goodall.)

‘Rising Tide, the Ocean Podcast’, is a refreshing, irreverent dive into the lives, work, and explorations of some of today’s leading and diverse ocean voices. Each half hour episode co-hosted by David Helvarg and Vicki Nichols-Goldstein sails through lively discussions with guests about marine life, culture, and critical issues affecting our rapidly changing seas. Informative, enlightening, and often humorous, it is an invaluable resource for anyone passionate about understanding, enjoying, and protecting our salty blue world.

Tony Toscano is a nationally recognized movie critic and film historian who has been reviewing films for over 4 decades. Tony grew up in Southern California, just outside Los Angeles.

While attending Jr. High School, Toscano began writing a weekly movie review column for his school paper. Directly because of his weekly column, Tony was asked to write a film review column for the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and a music review column for “The record Collector's Journal.”

Always interested in television and film, it’s no surprise Tony's first job was a disc jockey at his hometown radio station and began to review films and interview celebrities as a regular feature of his radio show and “Talking Pictures” was born.

Moving from Los Angeles to Utah to co-host a morning radio show on Utah's KABE FM 107, his film reviews were heard once a week and became a staple of the popular morning program.

Toscano began taking live calls from listeners and discussing current movies.

In 1996 Tony made the jump from radio and newspapers to television as the film critic on CBS in Salt Lake City, and then to KJZZ TV where he hosted the popular "Movie Review Show" and then his own production, "Talking Pictures."

In 2002 Tony was honored with his first Emmy Award as “Best Discussion Program.” In 2007 Toscano received his 2nd Emmy for hosting Talking Pictures.

Taking his award winning program coast to coast, Toscano has been able to syndicate Talking Pictures to over 65 million households around the USA and in nearly 120 countries worldwide.

In May of 2008 “Talking Pictures” moved to ABC-4 and Utah’s CW-30.

Toscano is also the film reviewer and entertainment guru for ABC-4’s “Good Morning Utah" and “Midday."

Additionally, Tony is heard on a number of radio stations across the US, including I Heart Radio's  top- rated “Morning Zoo with Frankie and Jess” on 97.1 ZHT in Salt Lake City, where his reviews have been heard for nearly 2 decades.

His fellow reviewers regard Tony as "one of the country’s best celebrity interviewers." As his in-depth conversations with such notable stars as George Clooney, Harrison Ford, Angelina Jolie, Steven Spielberg, Jeff Goldblum, Gwyneth Paltrow and Denzel Washington show a different and more relaxed side of celebrities.

In 2006 Toscano co-hosted the acclaimed series “Hot Topics” for Atlanta’s ABC affiliate WSB TV.

Working with Utah students in apprenticeships and internship programs, Tony is instrumental in instructing qualified and deserving students in the art of television production.

Tony Toscano is member in good standing of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (BFCA), a former board member of the Salt Lake City Film Center and the founder of the Utah Film Critics Society.

When not previewing, reviewing or interviewing Tony can be found somewhere in the mountains of Utah stream fishing or at his BBQ.
