Literary Gumbo is a weekly look at the world of writers. Host Fred Klein conducts in depth interviews with a variety of scribes – from daily columnists to bestselling authors. It also includes regular updates on new books, book club favorites, and publishing news. The show’s Director, Lisa Angle, makes sure every episode is posted online, making it available to viewers nationally and internationally.

Fred Klein spent 30 years as a Vice President of Bantam Books, head of marketing and ultimately Executive Editor, working with a number of noted authors. Retired to Santa Barbara, California, he is part of the Santa Barbara Writers Conference and helped create the Santa Barbara Book and Author Festival. The co-editor of The Film Encyclopedia, he currently works with writers.

Lisa Angle has worked in community television for the last six years, and has produced videos for Women in Communications, Screenwriters Association of Santa Barbara, the SB Writers Conference, and the SB Zoo’s “Condor Country.” She is also a writer whose most recent articles appear on Examiner.com.

The show’s theme music was taken from a song by JT & the Zydeco Zippers, a Santa Barbara based Cajun band that has played all over the county, and can be found jamming Saturday nights at the Palace
Grill on East Cota Street.
