Dan Seward's weekly "Battlefield Earth" program features poet Gerard Malanga, who was Warhol's assistant from 1963 to 1970, and has been published in The New Yorker, Poetry, Unmuzzled OX, and other journals, according to his Wikipedia entry. Malanga is also known for his photography and films, including "Mary for Mary" (1966), a portrait of the actor Mary Woronov. "Donovan Meets Gerard" (1966) documents a meeting between Malanga and the folk singer Donovan at Warhol’s studio. "Pre-Raphaelite Dream" (1968), documents the filmmaker’s friends and extended family in Cambridge, Massachusetts. "In The Recording Zone Operator" (1968), shot on location in Rome in 35 mm Techniscope/Technicolor, Malanga worked with Tony Kinna, Anita Pallenberg, and members of the Living Theatre.
