CHARLES PHOENIX
with host
JOHN SEMPER JR.
CHARLES PHOENIX is a showman, tour guide, food crafter, and author. He is known for his live comedy slide show performances, madcap Test Kitchen videos, “field trip” tours, and colorful coffee table books, all celebrating classic and kitschy mid-century American life and style. On TV, Charles has appeared as a judge on the Food Network’s Cake Wars: Christmas. He’s also been a guest on such shows as Conan and Martha Stewart, and he is often heard on NPR. The Los Angeles Times calls him “the King of Retro,” and LA Weekly anointed him “the Kodachrome King.”
Charles’ most recent book, Addicted to Americana, is a fabulous photo-packed trip through space-age style, amazing attractions, roadside wonders, festive foods, crazy car culture, and futuristic transportation.
