Radio Curious visits with playwright Don Samson, who discusses his work and creative process and his former life as the author of legal briefs for criminal defense attorneys.
Barry Vogel, Attorney and Counselor, is the Host and Producer of Radio Curious. Christina Aanestad is the Assistant Producer.
The creative imagination of playwright Don Samson is the topic of this edition of Radio Curious.  In May 2015, I had the good fortune of seeing a ten minute play entitled âBlind Date,â written by my long time friend, who lives in nearby Willits, California.  For many years prior to becoming a playwright, Don Samson researched and wrote legal briefs for criminal defense attorneys, an experience we also discuss in this program.  After seeing the local production of âBlind Date,â I was curious about the circumstances that came to Don Samsonâs mind when he created this play, so I invited him to visit the Radio Curious studios. We met on May 22, 2015 and began our conversation with his description of those circumstances.  Don Samson recommends the book, which is also a play, âAntigone,â by Sophocles.  Radio Curious is a half-hour, weekly, long-form interview program, now in it's 25th year.
