These are the stories of obstacles overcome, periods of doubt, plan B's and pushing through to follow one’s passion and realize a dream.
If you're in NYC this Saturday night September 7, I hope you'll join me for a 50th anniversary screening of the 1974 movie The Lords of Flatbush and a post screening Q&A. It's at the Roxy Cinema in Tribeca. The screening starts at 7:30.
See you there.
A post-film discussion with director Martin Davidson + crew & cast following a screening of their 1974 feature, The Lords of Flatbush.
One of our greatest sports icons, Jerry West, died in June. Jerry West was an amazing basketball player and executive. But that's only a part of the story. The title of his memoir, "West by West: My Charmed, Tormented Life" perfectly captures a fascinating life, a life affected by an abusive father and the death of Jerry West's hero, his older brother, in combat in Korea.
I've been blessed in my career. And I was certainly blessed to share the stage with Jerry West at the 92nd Street Y on a night in 2011. It's a night I'll never forget.
The legendary Jerry West tells his story–from his tough childhood in West Virginia, to his unbelievable college success at West Virginia University, his 40-y...

LUCY KAPLANSKY
Art + Science = Sweet Music
We’ve all come to crossroads in our lives and our careers. Lucy Kaplansky initially chose music. Then she chose school and a doctorate in clinical psychology. She tried pursuing both passions, psychologist by day with a little music on the side. But then came those crossroads. Her many admirers are thankful that she chose a life in music. Years ago she affected lives with her work as a therapist. Now she’s affecting lives with her songs.

I'm blessed to work at two iconic New York radio stations. 1010 WINS and WCBS Newsradio 880, both owned by Audacy.
Growing up in upstate New York, we got WCBS loud and clear because of a killer signal. Coming out of college in 1981, I was flailing, trying to create a career in broadcasting and failing miserably. But I would listen to WCBS. Charles Osgood. Rita Sands. Ben Farnsworth. And they taught me how to write, how to broadcast, how to connect with an audience. I learned by listening. Fast forward to 2022 and suddenly I was on WCBS in addition to 1010 WINS. And for the past two years, I've loved every minute of it, working with consummate professionals, good colleagues and friends.
We got word yesterday that WCBS Newsradio 880 will soon cease to exist and the call letters will be retired. It is a profoundly sad time because of the loss of a New York radio station with institutional knowledge and because of the loss of so many jobs of colleagues and friends. I wish them all good things in their next chapters. The kindness they've shown me will never be forgotten. Nor will WCBS Newsradio 880.
A joy to do this interview on WCBS Newsradio 880 with Toni Pappas, a sweet story at a dark time. Yet another reminder of the time long ago when I rubbed out all of the names on my brother's baseball. Noticing my crime and my impending doom, I then tried to rewrite them in my 8 year old handwriting. My brother's baseball had been signed by all of the 1961 New York Yankees
Mantle, Maris, Ford, Berra, etc. I kid you not.

I had the pleasure of seeing the wonderful musician Shawn Colvin not once but twice in concert this week in NYC. If you have the chance to see Shawn, don't miss the opportunity. It's a great show.
And Shawn is a terrific storyteller. So in the meantime, here is my podcast episode with her from earlier this year.

We got word today that Dr. Ruth Westheimer has died at the age of 96.
What a story. A Holocaust survivor who became the best known s*x therapist in America.
I spent some time with her in 2004 for a profile for NY1. A happy memory at a sad time.

By 1975, Alan Zweibel had decided on a career in comedy writing. He’d written jokes for older borscht belt comics and become friendly with young comics like Billy Crystal. But then he faced a difficult career decision between a relatively sure thing and a leap into the unknown. The decision changed the rest of his life.

“Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.” Shakespeare forgot about this one: “some are nudged by the rejection of numerous law schools.”
Alan Zweibel has written so many words that have made us laugh, through the voices of Gilda Radner, Billy Crystal, Garry Shandling and his own. He was one of the original writers and creators of Saturday Night Live. The legal world’s loss was clearly comedy’s gain. Our’s too.

My father was an old New York Giant baseball fan who then became a Mets fan. In our home, there was no argument. Willie Mays was the greatest baseball player ever. And if you ever mentioned another name....Williams....Mantle...Dimaggio...my father would just look at you.
Every time we were watching a game and some guy made a diving catch, my father would turn to me and say "Willie would have had it standing up."
Every time.
The greatest ever.

50 Years Of Friendship
I don’t think it violates some journalistic Edward R. Murrow code to say that some interviews are a labor of love. And if it does, so be it. This is one of them.
Paul Shaffer and Will Lee have put a lot of joyful music into the world. They are best known for their work in the Letterman bands, first on NBC and then on CBS, 33 years in all. But their compelling stories begin long before David Letterman. So too their friendship.

BILL PERSKY
Still Funny After All These Years, Part 2
By 1963, Bill Persky had already worked as a lifeguard at Grossinger’s in the Catskill Mountains and watched the hotel’s standup comics make people laugh. He’d written a show at Syracuse University that won a national collegiate award. He’d worked at an advertising agency and radio station in New York before moving to California to write for television. And then in 1963, everything changed. He and his writing partner Sam Denoff started writing for a show that is considered a classic: The Dick Van D**e Show. A door had opened and on the other side stood the rest of his life.

BILL PERSKY
Still Funny After All These Years, Part 1
What is it like to create something early in your life and then watch as that creation has a tangible effect on people decades later? Musicians know the feeling. Actors and writers too. It’s a feeling Bill Persky knows well. He and his writing partner Sam Denoff wrote many of the classic episodes of The Dick Van D**e Show, a 1960’s show that is timeless and often held up as TV comedy writing at its best. 60 years later and we are still laughing.

STEPHANE MATTEAU
Lessons Beyond The Goal
It seems easy for former professional athletes to live in the past. They practiced their whole lives to play the game and now it’s gone. Fans are constantly reminding them of games long ago, occasionally waiting on long lines for a picture and an autograph at a card show.
New York Rangers fans often remind Stephane Matteau of his Game 7 overtime goal against the New Jersey Devils that led the Rangers to the Stanley Cup Final, arguably the most important goal in franchise history. It was a life changing moment for the fans. And for Matteau too, but not for the reasons you might think. The goal gave Matteau the platform to focus on the present and the future. Not his: the present and future of thousands of kids.
