Joe Bevilacqua, also known as Joe Bev, is primarily known as a
radio theater dramatist, but his career has taken him into every
aspect of show business, including stage, film, and television, as
a producer, director, writer, actor, and even cartoonist. In 1971
his father bought him a cassette recorder, on which he created his
first audio story, Willoughby and the Professor, acting all the
voices himself at the age of twelve. In 1975 Daws Butler, the voice
of Yogi Bear and many other Hanna-Barbera and Jay Ward cartoon
characters, dubbed himself Bevilacqua's personal mentor after
hearing a 120-minute cassette of Willoughby improvisations. Since
1980 Bevilacqua has produced many award-winning radio programs for
National Public Radio, Sirius-XM Satellite Radio, and others.
