Jeffrey Scott Holland, author of Weird Kentucky, shares some of the Commonwealth's strangest tales on the next edition of Louisville Life, airing Thursday, Oct. 30 at 7:30/6:30 p.m. CT on KET2; Saturday, Nov. 1 at 7/6 p.m. CT on KET1; and Sunday, Nov. 2 at noon/11 a.m. CT on KET2.
Holland uncovered the stories behind the myths of the Pope Lick goatman, a half-man half-goat reported to live beneath a railroad trestle at Pope Lick Creek; giant Jim Porter, who stood close to 8 feet tall; and the day it rained meat in Kentucky. The author also discusses his successful art career and why he prefers to live in Louisville and commute to his coastal art galleries. Next, Louisville Life visits Leatherhead, a leather goods store on Bardstown Road. For more than 30 years, the shop has sold high-quality leather merchandise and custom designed leather products. Then, viewers meet the owner of Louise Cecil Costume Sales and Rental. Cecil, who began making costumes in 1973, has personally created thousands of costumes. She discusses her longevity in the industry and some of her favorite designs. Back at the studio, Candyce sits down with Sandy Bowen, executive director of Safe Place, who talks about the organization's 25-year history and its vital presence in Louisville. Finally, the program turns the spotlight on the Actors Theatre of Louisville, now in its 45th season. Louisville Life is a KET production, produced and directed by Gary Pahler. Jayne McClew is producer/writer; associate producer is Kelli Brodersen. More information about Louisville Life, including streaming video, is available at www.ket.org/loulife.
