“Just Keep Making Stuff Up”: An Interview with Shadoe Stevens

When the name Shadoe Stevens comes to mind, a lot of people think about their time as a Radio DJ or as announcer on Hollywood Squares. But the other day I was lucky enough to sit down and chat with Shadoe about his incredibly successful string of "Fred Rated for Federated" commercials, a wildly bizarre HBO special called "ShadoeVision," and their 1988 feature-film TRAXX. 

We also discuss their creative process and current project MentalRadio, a "Wide-Screen, Cinematic" 3D podcast.
