To celebrate the 6th
anniversary of The FDH Lounge, the program where “nothing is off-topic,” The
FDH Lounge Academy of Arts & Sciences convened to vote for the 7th
class of FDH Lounge Pantheon inductees.
From there, our 12 Mini-Episodes crowned the Best of the Best and
brought the number of members in this exclusive club to exactly 100.
For the segments we put
together, I want to thank my fellow Original FDH Lounge Dignitary Chris
Galloway along with some good friends and Dignitaries who also sat in on the 6th
Pantheon shows last summer: Anthony Petrone, Matt Petrone, Bob Glassman and Jon
Adams. In addition to Chris, I’d also
like to single out my other Original Dignitaries in the fold: Senior Editor
Jason Jones, Entertainment Editor Samantha Jones, Nate Noy and Tim Foust.
The many celebrity conversations
that have been injected over a period of time, such as Bob Barker, Steve Perry
and Tommy Lasorda (almost all of these having been booked by Steve Cirvello),
have added notoriety to our record that we could not have anticipated during
our first show on January 14, 2007. From
a marketing perspective for the future of the program, they are the most
important element in terms of distinguishing what we can do and securing
ever-brighter horizons.
To those who truly love the
show, however, the entire fabric, the entire spectrum of what we do is unique
and meaningful. Our goal, in every
segment, is to take a subject (or a few of them, as the case may be) and to
make you feel like you’re listening to a conversation in an after-hours lounge
with people who know what they’re talking about and who have fun in doing so.
The FDH Lounge Pantheon
exemplifies this idea and it’s consistently one of the most fun concepts that
we produce. If you enjoy these segments
half as much as we enjoyed putting them together, you’re going to have a blast. Enjoy!
