The Rough Cut Matter
Tweaking continues, mostly minor details like on-screen text, though, I'm considering rearranging the order of segments a bit. The challenge remains having a wealth of great material from interviewees such as the late Ed Walker that's interesting in its own right but doesn't necessarily fit the overall story. There's probably a separate documentary about radio drama in general to be made.
