Person Place Thing is an interview show recorded around New York and based on this idea:
people are particularly engaging when they speak not directly about themselves,
but about something they care about. Guests talk about one person, one place,
and one thing that are important to them. The result? Surprising stories from great talkers. This
show is taped and broadcast at a later date on public radio throughout the
Northeast (WNYE, 91.5 FM in NYC), as well made available online at http://personplacething.org/.

Harpers, The Atlantic, Young Love Comics). His first television work was
writing for "Late Night With David Letterman" for which he won three
Emmy awards. His fourth Emmy was for his
work on Michael Moore’s "TV Nation." He received a fifth Emmy as a
result of a clerical error, and he kept it. For twelve years he wrote "The
Ethicist," a weekly column for the New York Times Magazine. In 2010, his first play, “The Punishing
Blow,” ran at New York’s Clurman Theater. His most recent book, "Be Good:
