The next edition of Louisville Life features a popular local newspaper, the work of photographer Keith Auerbach, a visit to a folk art center and an interview with the executive editor of The Courier-Journal. The program, hosted by Candyce Clifft, airs Thursday, May 29 at 7:30/6:30 p.m. CT; Friday, May 30 at 4/3 p.m. CT; and Sunday, June 1 at noon/11 a.m. CT on KET2. One of Louisville’s most popular weekly papers, the Louisville Eccentric Observer (LEO), includes some features not always found in more mainstream media sources, such as News of the Weird; Real Astrology; the New York Times crossword puzzle; and locally written reviews of books, movies, theater and music. Louisville Life takes a behind-the-scenes look at the production of LEO. Native Louisvillian Auerbach has studied photography at the San Francisco Art Institute, the California College of Arts and Crafts and the University of Louisville. For more than 15 years his work was published in a quirky and humorous photographic column on LEO’s editorial page. Louisville Life explores Auerbach’s unique work and gets a peek at his first book, The Photographic Humor of Keith Auerbach. Then, the program visits the Little Loomhouse, a complex of historic cabins where guests learn about the folk art tradition of weaving and participate in the conservation of the art by creating their own pieces. And, Candyce speaks with Bennie Ivory, executive editor and vice president for news at The Courier-Journal. In 2004, Ivory was named a winner of the Robert G. McGruder Award for Diversity Leadership, which recognizes leadership in content and in recruiting and retaining journalists of color. Finally, viewers learn about Justice Louis Brandeis, who was born in Louisville in 1856 and became the first Jewish justice to be appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Louisville Life is a KET production, produced and directed by Gary Pahler. Jayne McClew is content producer; associate producer is Kelli Brodersen.
