History

State: NY
Bio: Improv comedy theater actor: Founding member of the zany and irreverent Puzzled Players Comedy Improv Theater, studied at UCB Theater. Live host and interviewer: The Grab Bag Game Show. Principal entertainer: The Amazing Improv Dads, a cornucopia of G-rated family programs.
What's your favorite public radio show?: I like two kinds of shows, actually the first is a strange kind-CAR TALK. The second is any show that covers a topic in detail rather than glossing over topics.
What song is stuck in your head right now, you know, a music wedgie?: FALLING IN LOVE AGAIN if that is the actual title. With of course, Marlena Deitrich's voice.
What sound is most characteristic of where you live?: A toilet flushing. Binghamton NY is a great place to raise a family but the economy has suffered for over 15 years since IBM imploded and defense contractors had contracts cut.
What's your favorite sound memory?: "I love you daddy." It's not funny but what else is there to live for?
Which station do you listen to most?: NPR. No, really!
