On the Radio:
"The Strength Coach
Radio Show" airs Sunday evenings at 11 p.m. Eastern Time on the Radio America
Network.
This week's show - Ready for Prime Time?
Is television ready to finally include people with disbilities as a part of the mainstream?
Independent Filmmaker Joanne Caputo and her Consulting Director Michael Ivey will address this
question as well as rev you up for the upcoming premiere of the documentary film ON A ROLL,
airing nationally on PBS starting Tuesday night, Feb 15. http://www.pbs.org/onaroll.
Joanne, Greg and Michael have become close friends through the six year process of film
production. Joanne has traveled with Greg as far as Sapporo, Japan, capturing hours of video
and a new perspective about disability and human potential. Meet filmmaker Joanne Caputo on
"The Strength Coach with Greg Smith."
Plus...
John Hockenberry has taken the image of disability farther than anyone on
television. A three-time Peabody Award winner, four-time Emmy award winner and Dateline NBC
correspondent, John's presence on television as a wheelchair user is a source of optimism. His
comments on the "Prime Time" question will be interesting.
