Submitted for Your Approval: The Many Dimensions of Rod Serling w/ Josh Chambers, Nicholas Parisi and Anne Serling

To mark the 10th anniversary of SerlingFest, Frank celebrates the life, career and legacy of one of his favorite storytellers: legendary writer-producer Rod Serling. Joining him on this "journey into a wondrous land" are co-host Josh Chambers, author Nicholas Parisi ("Rod Serling: His Life, Work and Imagination") and educator and author Anne Serling ("As I Knew Him: My Dad, Rod Serling"). In this episode, the panel looks back at Serling's immense body of work, his clashes with networks and sponsors, his commitment to social justice, his affection for "obsolete men" and his little-known appreciation of Mel Brooks, Mad magazine and..."The Flintstones"? Also: Frank defends "Night Gallery" (and lauds "The Loner"), Josh screens "Requiem for a Heavyweight" for high school students, Nick writes the definitive history of Serling's work, and Anne discovers "The Twilight Zone"...on a neighborhood playground. PLUS: Richard Matheson at 100! "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?" Blake Edwards' "Planet of the Apes"!? Serling befriends David Brenner! And Anne "finds" her dad in the episode "In Praise of Pip"! Join our Patreon today! ⁠Patreon.com/FunForAllAgesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
