My father ran a CB radio business. I grew up in a cluttered space that was filled with radios and antennas. It felt alien.

When you hear that you're going to be working with a first-time director, sometimes that can be a concern to people.

Radio is a really strange business now, too. There's a very narrow door and a very few people control what gets played.

I've tried to stay out of the frame more as a director.

I'm lucky enough that directors sometimes seek me out for little projects that people don't even know about, that just surface later on.

I've been lucky enough to work with some of the best TV directors there are, and I've learned from how they had to handle when things don't go quite according to plan.

I'll tell you one thing. I've never heard a director saying that the dailies suck.

There needs to be some regime that is overseeing access to broadband to make sure we have openess; otherwise, there is a risk it won't be open anymore. We spent quite a bit of time with Verizon policy people in addition to participating in a multilateral discussion with the Federal Communications Commission.

I only got interested in radio once I talked my way into an internship at NPR's headquarters in Washington, D.C. in 1978, never having heard the network on the air.
