It's been a long time since we've done something together. And since then our work has changed, so it will be interesting to see how it works now. Ira's convinced that radio is the dominant thing and that theater is dead. But I'm not so sure radio is doing so much better than theater.

I spend a lot of time talking to people. Usually, there ends up being a lot to choose from. It's easy to get burned out on something like this. But I've gotten better at pacing myself over the years. Besides I love the surprises that often creep up on you in this sort of festival.

For us there is something necessary about keeping a cross-pollination of ideas. The people we started working with are now in their forties and fifties. We are all constantly thinking about how to reinvent ourselves; the Rhino helps us do that. There's a pretty healthy balance between young and old.
