We talked it through and made a plan: The entire episode would be Crystal's and I would step back and simply be the guest. She interviewed me when I was in New York over the summer. She wrote and recorded the opening monologue and the credits herself. The entire edit of the episode was up to her and I am so thankful to her for her ideas, her thoughtfulness, and her friendship.
Most podcasts don't last this long and I am really proud of myself for working through all the challenges over the years, keeping it going, and making something worthwhile to many people. This podcast has given me the opportunity to meet some of the most incredible writers in existence. I've met heroes and strangers who became heroes and made many friends along the way. I appreciate all 130+ playwrights I've interviewed over the years and look forward to those to come - this isn't the end by any stretch. I already have the next four months of episodes recorded and ready to go.
Thank you to everybody who listens and supports this project of mine. I appreciate all of you.
(a special thank you to Rob Weinert-Kendt for saying yes when I pitched this to him years ago. Being part of the American Theatre magazine family gave this little pod a new life and is the only reason I'm able to keep this going).
