Always Meet Your Heroes

About this episode

Hello! And welcome back to The Dana Gould Hour Podcast. It's the dog days of summer and what better way to work through those hot summer days then to walk around in the heat holding a sign that says you want a fair deal from the people who work in the buildings behind you even though they're all on Martha's Vineyard at the moment? 

Two fantastic guests today, my lordy. First off, a guy that I cannot believe that I know. He is in my favorite movie of all time, he has appeared repeatedly in one of my favorite TV shows, and he lived in my favorite city during one of its most fascinating periods. From Planet Of The Apes, and Dragnet and so much more, actor Lou Wagner is here. 

Also, comedian and author Wayne Federman is here. In addition to being a fine comedian in his own right, Wayne is a comedy historian. He is the author of a terrific book called The History Of Stand Up, from Mark Twain To Dave Chapelle and he was also the producer of the fabulous two part HBO documentary George Carlin's American Dream, directed by Judd Appatow and Michael Bonfiglio, Wayne Federman is here. 

True Tales From Weirdsville takes a deep dive into a famous L.A. murder that occurred right down the street from good old Falcon's lair Recording Studio, of course this was long before I got here, but our guest Lou Wagner was here. And although he's all alibi's up he's got some stories to share, so we'll give you some background to boot.
