Black & A Half Podcast Episode #75: Pam Stucky


ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Once, when Pam Stucky was quite young, she went to the library looking
for books on magic. The librarian directed her to a different kind of
books than those she was used to. She was used to books with pictures,
or at the very least with a drawing at the beginning of each chapter.
(She was very, very young.) These books about magic had a lot of
words, and were written in a very small font, compared to what she was
used to. She was skeptical.

Nonetheless, she took the books home and started reading. Until, with
disgust, she realized these books weren’t about *magic*; they were
about magic *tricks*. She had wanted to do real magic. Disillusioned,
she returned the books to the library.

Then one day, she realized it is books themselves that are magic.

In books, everything is possible.

Pam is a native of the Seattle area and writes in multiple genres,
including mysteries, middle grade/young adult sci-fi adventure,
travelogues, and more. Find out more about Pam at www.pamstucky.com.

Black and A Half Podcast Episode #30: Mick Szydlowski, Oskar The Blind Cat

This week on Black and A Half, Manny and Silas sit down with Mick Szydlowski, author of the Oskar & Klaus book serious.  This was a real fun episode learning about the rise of Oskar the Blind Cat from being an average rescue cat to internet stardom.

About Our Guest

Author Mick Szydlowski lives in Seattle with his wife and two young daughters, and their two cats, Oskar & Klaus. Mick has a passion for photography, music, outdoor exploration, and wildlife conservation. He is an advocate for special needs pet adoption, and is always thrilled to hear from people who were encouraged to adopt a special needs pet as a result of learning Oskar’s story.

Oskar the Blind Cat has been entertaining and inspiring fans around the world since 2011!  His YouTube channel has been viewed millions of times, not counting the viral music videos he starred in with Grumpy Cat.  He has been featured on countless TV programs from as far away as Japan, China, and Finland.  In the US, Oskar has been seen on Ellen, CNN, MTV, Good Morning America, Today Show, as well as in multiple print appearances in Time, Women’s Day, and Cat Fancy.  His ever-growing Instagram and Facebook fan base consists of people committed to raising healthy, happy pets.  Additionally, Oskar (and his sidekick, Klaus) are featured in two illustrated children’s books used in classrooms across the country.  Oskar is a spokespet for the National Federation of the Blind, and its Braille Literacy Ambassador.  Oskar’s book will actually be read live from the International Space Station by an astronaut in August of this year, and his story shared in even more classrooms!  Although born blind, Oskar is a perfect example of how pets with special needs can lead happy, fulfilling lives!
