First hour: Ed welcomes novelist and screenwriter Edward Weinman (A Little Trip to Heaven). Ed’s novel The Ring Road is a blend of dark fantasy and Nordic noir that also has elements of Columbo and Twin Peaks. Also in this hour: Tony Figueroa and Donna Allen remember the premiere of Sesame Street on PBS in November 1969.

Second hour: We commemorate Veterans Day with a replay of our February 2013 conversation with actor, author and U.S. Army veteran James McEachin (Tenafly, First Monday, The Perry Mason Mysteries, Reveille, Tell Me a Tale, Above the Call: Beyond the Duty).
