"He was responsible for such a tectonic change in American television." - Tripp Whetsell
Welcome Tripp Whetsell:
We’re joined on the Starline by a bestselling author, journalist, historian, publicist and adjunct media studies professor at Emerson College in Boston. His fourth book is “Norman Lear: His Life & Times”. We welcome Tripp Whetsell.

As much information out there about him, some information was wrong. How hard was it to separate the wheat from the chaff to finish this project?
Lear’s career defining moments were filled with Hollywood treachery and a bunch of lucky breaks. Which is your favorite?
