This morning, Tom Hanks will be wearing a mortarboard at Harvard’s commencement ceremonies.

Video of Tom’s speech will certainly be available later, but until then he can be heard today at 1 PM ET, wearing his DJ cap on Boss Radio 66.
Here’s a convenient player to use.
I spotted Tom Hanks on Turner Classic Movies last night, and hoped TCM would post the video, which they have done.
Tom’s return to his DJ identity on Boss Radio 66 has been rescheduled from this Tuesday, to Thursday at 1 PM EDT.
Tom Hanks is scheduled to return to the Boss Radio 66 mic on May 23 at 1 PM ET. From this picture I expect we’ll be hearing some — yay! — summer Surf music.
Tom’s latest side hustle is novel writing. Following the old adage “write what you know about,” Hanks certainly knows the movie business. The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece was released a couple of days ago, and it’s on my Kindle Paperwhite. Here’s a sneak peek.
Tom Hanks is doing what I need to start doing. Reduce my collection of things.

I feel like I’m in the Merry Marvel Marching Society again!
Last weekend I was on a Watch Party that Debbie Daughtry was hosting, showing Tom Hanks’ delightfully note-perfect movie that I also love, That Thing You Do! There was a technical glitch, but I figured out a workaround and had a lot of fun. Debbie sounds like she’s up to trying another watch party, and the movie I recommended won’t surprise anyone who knows me.
Today the full story has been revealed about Debbie, Boss Radio 66, and how Tom Hanks came into the radio picture.
“Debbie sends me the playlist and I do a dive on the web for salient and fascinating information,” Tom tells PEOPLE of how he prepares for his sets.
Boss Radio 66 is just the first of several collaborations between Tom and Debbie to come, including a country music and American Standards station soon to follow on TuneIn.

Here are a couple of movie trailers that were put on YouTube by Johnathon Schaech, who plays Jimmy in the movie. Johnathan apologized to Debbie because he wanted to join the watch party, but then was unable to attend.
Look fast for a young Charlize Theron in this one!
Look fast for an old Ortofon SPU phono cartridge in this one!
