| 11/28/22 |  S2 Ep80: Having A Ball: Ricky Loses His Voice | This week's episode recap is Season 2, Episode 9: 'Ricky Loses His Voice'. As we dive into the episode, we see Ricky unable to stage a show due to losing his voice from what seems like a cold or flu of some kind. Lucy sees this as an opportunity to put on a vaudevillian review using the same dancers from 1927 (it's now 1952).The episode focuses on the difference between men and women when bedridden with a cold or other ailments.We chat about the dancers, who are familiar 'I Love Lucy' background stand-ins.This is a fun Charleston-esque episode.How do you handle being sick?•••Connect with all things 'Having A Ball'•••YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDXuCxbfhUNJzJ_8wMfMD_w/featuredHaving A Ball Podcast on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Having-a-Ball-Podcast-103319291812682Having A Ball Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/havingaballpod/Erika on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erikamurrietta/Erika on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/erika.murrietta.3Erika on Twitter: https://twitter.com/erikamurriettaLuci on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luciana.ehrlingerLuci on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ziva_e/Email: havingaballpod@gmail.com•••Photos: CBS/ Paramount/ DesiluProduced by: Erika MurriettaMusic provided by:Feather Duster via SilvermanSoundhttps://www.silvermansound.com/free-music/feather-dust | 33m 40s | ||||||
| 11/14/22 |  S2 Ep79: Having A Ball: Michael T. Mooney (Papermoon Loves Lucy) | This week we speak with the Lucy-pedia himself, Michael T. Mooney. Michael is the creator of the very informative and detailed-oriented Tumblr page, 'Papermoon Loves Lucy'. This page is one of the sources we utilize for our episode recaps and is usually one of the top search results on Google when looking for anything 'I Love Lucy' or just Lucille Ball-related. Chatting with Michael was such a delight as he is a theatre kid first, he appreciates the brilliance, timing, and dedication Lucy and the entire crew put into every 'I Love Lucy' episode. We chat about what he did (and currently still does) in theatre, his love of Lucille Ball, and how his ever-growing page began. As anyone who appreciates background trivia (such as sponsor placements, hidden gems and everyday items used on the show), bloopers, and history weaving-in of information, this was quite a fun interview. We have a face to the page!Find Michael's page here:https://papermoonloveslucy.tumblr.com/•••Connect with all things 'Having A Ball'•••YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDXuCxbfhUNJzJ_8wMfMD_w/featuredHaving A Ball Podcast on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Having-a-Ball-Podcast-103319291812682Having A Ball Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/havingaballpod/Erika on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erikamurrietta/Erika on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/erika.murrietta.3Erika on Twitter: https://twitter.com/erikamurriettaLuci on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luciana.ehrlingerLuci on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ziva_e/Email: havingaballpod@gmail.com•••Photos: Michael T.
