Josh co-hosted an internet radio show called �The Crystal Telephone with
Rotary Rachel.� The show is mostly music and an interview with
actor/musician Michael Des Barres takes up most of the non-music time,
but there�s a bit of Cinematic Titanic talk with Josh. Here�s hour one.

A Blip.tv show called �Radio Dead Air� interviewed Mike.
http://blip.tv/radio-dead-air/let-s-interview-mike-j-nelson-5519419
I�m not sure what channel this is, or what town the news show is in, but
they did a short news item about RiffTrax.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mWvAgB6WbI And on their web site, they
posted a long video interview with Mike0. Here it is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDiWap-5xMQ in two parts.
