Travel writer has ‘Up Late’ crew trippin’ this weekend

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – “Up Late,” Marshall University’s student-run late-night television show, will feature local writer Dave Lavender during this weekend’s show.

Lavender, author of “Dave Trippin’: A Day Tripper’s Guide to the Appalachian Galaxy of Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia,” talks with host Jamie LoFiego about his book, his travels, writing for The Herald-Dispatch in Huntington and  his stint on local radio during “Dave’s Drive-Through Weekend.”

Also, members of the “Up Late” crew check out Marshall’s Habitat for Humanity House and talk with some students from Boston College. This week’s door keeper is Kate Niemer from Boston. Musical guest is Bud Carroll and The Southern Souls.

The show will air from 11 to 11:30 p.m. Saturday, March 8 on MyZTV and on Comcast Channel 25 throughout the weekend.

“Up Late” grew out of the Introduction to Video Production class taught by instructors LoFiego and Eric Himes, who both work with Marshall’s Instructional Television Channel 25. It is produced entirely by students and has a late-night show quality featuring interviews, skits, ridiculous stunts, guest bands and comedy.
