Let's Talk Ten
Dan Fisher and his guests come up with Top Ten lists relating to pop culture --Movies/TV/Music/Etc. -- and then they compare notes.
"Winning" arguments over what's the "best" is never the point. It's just people talking about the stuff they love and why they love it. Sometimes the conversation is silly, sometimes it's deeply personal -- as long as it's entertaining, it goes where it goes.
Each "Let's Talk Ten" will cover a fresh topic (horror movies, debut albums, TV kids' shows) with a different guest. There are no scripts and lists are not shared beforehand.
Episodes will drop every two weeks, on Mondays.

EP. #21 - A CONVERSATION WITH TV LEGEND RON FRIEDMAN
Dan has a fun and fascinating conversation with Ron Friedman who, since 1965, has written over 700 houurs of broadcast television -- starting with The Danny Kaye show, then going on to write for pretty much every show you watched growing up: The Andy Griffith Show, Get Smart, Bewitched, The Partridge Family, All in the Family, The Odd Couple, Charlie’s Angels, Chico and the Man, Starsky and Hutch, the animated G.I. Joe series – plus, believe it or not, dozens more.
He also wrote the animated Transformers: The Movie, which made him responsible for killing Optimus Prime.
Ron is a fantastic raconteur, and this conversation is loaded with laughs, painful childhood memories of growing up Jewish in Weirton, West Virginia…plus tales of his encounters with show business legends like Victor Borge, Sammy Davis Jr., Lucille Ball, Jonathan Winters Jack Klugman and Tony Randall, Shirley Jones, Freddie Prinze, Ricardo Montalban, Orson Welles….and many, many more.
