in which we discuss getting help from Bob Rafelson, interviewing witnesses to the FDR presidency, and “The Heritage of Slavery.”

Peter Davis, Part 3

These are interviews with interesting people, which can be anyone. And I’m going to try to prove that.  Does everyone have an interesting life, and have interesting things to say? I think so. I’m trying to show that so-called “average people” are just as compelling as celebrities. But unless you’re in my circle of friends, colleagues and acquaintances, you won’t know my guests. And I don’t give you any background or context about them. You’ll just have to listen - carefully - to what they say. These are conversations, not interviews. I don’t have a prepared set of questions. I just let the let the discussion go where it will.
