In this episode, the first of a 2-part interview with Adam Klugman, we get an introduction to his life, one that is far from ordinary! This is the lighter half of the interview, where we talk about growing up as the son of the famous Jack Klugman, who you might know from the American sitcom of the 1970s called The Odd Couple, arguably one of the greatest shows ever on television. You may also know Adam from his now legendary monologues on his old radio show Mad As Hell in America. 

A regular aspect of the podcast is the sharing of stories, which I think is of great importance! As I will with all my guests, I ask him to "tell us a story." His story is a wild one. I don't want to give it away, but it involved the great Frank Sinatra. We also hear about his interesting social transformation from bratty Hollywood kid to passionate seeker of change, and his later transition from the world of commercial ad-making to political campaign messaging. 

In the second episode of the interview we did much deeper into his thinking about democratic politics in the United States and beyond, and we talk about our current musical interests, another important regular aspect of the show.
