Joe Bevilacqua (Joe Bev.) began hosted his new "Cartoon Carnival" radio show for Shokus Internet Radio on Labor Day 2009, becoming an instant hit and rising to become the 2nd most listened to program on the network. The show currently has 571 fans on its Facebook page.
"Based on our Facebook demographics," said Bevilacqua, " the show appeals to a very wide group of diverse people of so many walks of life: high school and college students all the way up to 80 year olds, of many ethnic backgrounds and diverse social and political viewpoints. The show is really a comedy hour and comedy, especially cartoony comedy transcends all boundaries."
As the protege of cartoon voice legend Daws Butler (Yogi Bear), the veteran award-winning broadcaster (NPR, XM Radio) is no stranger to the cartoon world. Joe Bev even co-authored his mentor's authorized biography, "Daws Butler, Characters Actor", available at BearManorMedia.com.
Most recently, Bevilacqua has produced a number of audio books for BearManorAudio.com, including Daws Butler's UNCLE DUNKLE AND DONNIE Fractured Fables -- with Bevilacqua performing all 97 different characters, IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN: THE NEW STORIES OF OLD TIME RADIO -- fully produced with sound effects and music and performed entirely by Bevilacqua & his wife Lorie Kellogg, THE LAUGH MAKERS: A Behind-The-Scenes Tribute To Bob Hope's Incredible Gag Writers -- written and read by Bob Mills with preface by Gary Owens, and SON OF HARPO SPEAKS! A Family Portrait -- written, scored and read by Bill Marx. Available at http://www.BearManorAudio.com and http://www.Audible.com.
From Mel Blanc to June Foray, from Disney to Hanna-Barbera, "Cartoon Carnival" is a lively hour of rare and classic cartoon audio, children's records, cartoon music and sound effects, new radio cartoons, interviews and mini-documentaries about the wonderful world of animation.

A review of "Cartoon Carnival":
http://yowpyowp.blogspot.com/2010/04/give-show-hear-show-give-s.html
HEAR A SHOW
For reasons I have yet to fathom, Joe Bevilacqua decided I am an interesting enough Yowp to have as this week’s guest on his Cartoon Carnival show on Shokus Internet Radio. Joe was very nice to publicise this blog on his show. I’m not a self-promoter. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever asked anyone to tune and listen to me on the radio. So I’m not going to ask you to tune in to listen to me. Tune in to listen to the other stuff.
Joe always has something that interests me on his show, whether it’s old Daws Butler records or (like last week) an interview with puppeteer Craig Marin, who told a wonderful story that everyone can identify with about how he met his TV heroes. Joe also plays soundtracks of old Hanna-Barbera (and other) cartoons. Hear for yourself if Chuck Jones was right to call them “illustrated radio” (Chuck’s description brings to mind that
“shoeleather” synonym of Beaky’s). Joe does a show once a week and it plays Monday through Sunday to enable you to catch it. Oh, and Joe has
them archived, too. Click here for Joe’s site and you can go to Shokus here.
I’d like to thank Joe for asking me to be on his programme and the other very nice people out there I’ve never met who have linked to this blog. I’m not deliberately snubbing anyone by not reciprocating with a widget full of URLs. It’s just one of those things I just have to get around to doing, though I admit I don’t know what sites point you to this one. But I humbly appreciate it, along with all the comments left here by animators, voice actors, fans and experts. I’m still hoping someone out there has more of the stock music used in these cartoons they can pass along or identify, and that there’s someone who can help fill in blanks I have with some old newspaper stories.
You’ve all helped to try to make sure this blog isn’t shoeleather.
