<p data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">This week, I’m welcoming back <a href="https://randy-west.ueniweb.com/">Randy West</a>, who was my guest in the <em>Sewers of Paris</em> <a href="https://www.mattbaume.com/sewers-shownotes/2017/4/24/i-made-30-rock-my-home-ep-111-talk-shows-game-shows">way back in 2017</a>. Randy is a TV industry veteran whose voice you might recognize from announcing on shows like <em>The Price is Right</em>, <em>Supermarket Sweep</em>, <em>Big Brother</em>, and countless others. From his decades behind a microphone, Randy’s been present for the creation of a lot of iconic TV shows, and these days he’s helping to preserve that past at one of the most important production studios in the world.</p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">We’ll have that interview in a moment. First a quick heads up that I’m planning a European book tour this spring and summer, where I’ll be reading from my book <a href="https://www.mattbaume.com/hi-honey-im-homo"><em>Hi Honey I’m Homo!</em></a>, as well as sharing clips from classic queer sitcom episodes. Plans for that are still coming together. But if you or someone you know is connected to a bookstore, university, community group, or any other organization in Europe that would like to collaborate on a book event in May or June of 2026, please get in touch so I can try to make it happen!</p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Also, a quick reminder that I host weekly livestreams every Sunday <a href="http://twitch.tv/mattbaume">on Twitch</a>, and I hope you’ll join me for those.
