Is JHK Daniel?

Released: Feb. 11, 2010.

On today's podcast, James Howard Kunstler answers questions from the cast members and audience after the staged reading of "Big Slide," an original three-act play by James Howard Kunstler. An audience member asks Kunstler if his character "Tom" was meant to be an African-American. A cast member asks if the character "Daniel" is named after the biblical prophet and if perhaps "Daniel" is actually Jim himself. Another castmember asks why he chose theater for as a medium for this story.
