Editorial reviews

This lighthearted yet revealing conversation between renowned film and TV actor Alan Alda and distinguished author and essayist Roger Rosenblatt was recorded in September of 2007 in New York City as part of the 92nd Street Y's "funny people" series.

Rosenblatt steers the conversation toward a wide range of topics, including Alda's fascination with science, what he's learned honing his craft throughout the years, and the many charitable endeavors he's undertaken.

The chemistry between these two accomplished men coupled with Alda's disarmingly honest tone and effortless storytelling abilities make for a fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Alda and Rosenblatt.... Fun and Enlightening

Other than being unable to throw in a question or two of my own, this experience was like sitting in a living room or standing at a dinner party and listening to Alan Alda and Roger Rosenblatt converse. It was spontaneous and it felt honest with all the awkwardness that injects itself in naturally flowing discourse. At the time of this writing (January 11, 2017), Alan Alda will be 81 in just a couple of weeks. In that light, his reflections on fame and family hold a bit of clout in my book.
