TV nostalgia authors will visit Westlake on Dec. 5

Mike and Janice Olszewski will autograph copies of their new book, "Cleveland TV Tales, Vol. 2," at Barnes & Noble on Dec. 5.

TV nostalgia authors Mike and Janice Olszewski will meet-and-greet fans and autograph copies of their new book, "Cleveland TV Tales, Vol. 2," on Saturday, Dec. 5 from 1-3 p.m. at Barnes & Noble Booksellers in Crocker Park. The event is free and open to the public.
 
A sequel to the first book, "Cleveland TV Tales," the second volume gives more behind-the-screen stories from the golden age of local television including favorite Cleveland television personalities of the 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s.

The book includes stories about the rise of glamorous news anchors (including more than one Miss America contestant); late-night horror-movie hosts battling to take over the legacy of the legendary Ghoulardi; the strange, sad saga of the former daytime host who shot himself after a bizarre sex scandal; a weatherman who was a lightning rod for coworkers’ endless practical jokes; the gutsy reporter who interviewed Danny Greene hours before the mobster was blown up in his car; and many more.

Mike Olszewski is a veteran Cleveland radio and television personality and the curator and archivist for the Ohio Broadcast Archive and Museum. He also teaches media and communications classes at Cleveland State University, Kent State University, the University of Akron, and Notre Dame College.

Janice Olszewski has more than three decades’ experience in the travel and tourism industry. Her photography has been published in Filmfax, Outre, and other national magazines.
