I was a writer, mostly long features for magazines. Then I did some work withThis American Lifeand I fell in love with radio. But it struck me that radio seemed like its own world. I knew millions of writers, and I hardly knew any of these radio producers. I realized I didnt know many filmmakers or photographers either.
