OFF SCRIPT WITH DAN DWYER (30-Minute Podcast Interviews)
OFF SCRIPT, a radio talkshow, underwritten by Johnnycake Books, is broadcast on WHDD/ Robin Hood Radio, the smallest NPR station in the nation, then podcast here and on-line. OFF SCRIPT has a 30-minute interview format with guests from the worlds of theater, mostly, but also books, film and allied creative fields. With my guests, I start with a project of theirs that’s in the news and then talk with them, in depth, about how their interests brought them to it. Think of the programs as backstories in what makes creative people tick. That’s what always interested me and I think it will you, too.
