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.
