About

As a former newspaper guy, I like telling stories. I also like radio a lot although, thanks to the internet, I now find myself listening to old radio (Richard Diamond, Johnny Dollar) more than anything else. I enjoy doing podcasts (radio in a box). I know you're supposed to market yourself these days but I look at interviewing authors of recently-published non-fiction (for the Read Beat podcast) as my lifelong learning class. As for interests: finding ways to restore journalism to our lives (now that print newspapers have gone the way of the milkman and encyclopedia salesmen), film noir (but old movies in general), Mayan culture (my dad got me hooked on the Mayan ballgame) and a lot of music (most of it old). Check out my Read Beat posts on Substack (there--I'm marketing myself).
