ManiaTV.com Launches 'The Indie Professor' with Wendy Fonarow this Fall

Segments to be featured on The Daily Independent.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 31, 2006 -- ManiaTV.com is excited to announce the addition of Dr. Wendy Fonarow as “The Indie Professor”. Fonarow will be providing a daily dose of indie rock education to millions of viewers a month beginning Tuesday, September 5. Wendy’s segments, based on her book Empire of Dirt, will focus on providing indie rock definitions to millions of young viewers during The Daily Independent, a live show illuminating the world of independent artists and trends in modern subculture. Viewers who miss the live airing can also see it on demand at http://www.maniatv.com/tv/DailyIndie

“Wendy is one of the foremost experts in the world on the Indie Music scene. We are thrilled to add her segments to our family of channels, said Stefan Goldby, ManiaTv.com Director of Music Programming. She will add unique insight and great context to one of our most popular shows”.

Fonarow, an anthropology professor at both UCLA and Glendale College, is a walking encyclopedia of music knowledge and she shares it in bite size pieces full of enthusiasm, humor and useful information. If you’ve ever wondered what a “ligger” is, what the “Penny Lane Syndrome is, or how to “blag” your way into a rock show, you must tune in for “The Indie Professor!” Wendy’s book on the rituals of UK indie music is out now on Wesleyan University Press and has won acclaim from the Village Voice, Seattle Weekly, Nashville Scene and more, with upcoming reviews planned for Harp and Urb Magazines.
