August 9th marks
the one-year anniversary of our friend David Rakoff's death. We commemorate his life with a special
two-part episode. Part 1 features his person and place; Part 2 his
Thing, and a terrific bonus story-- what he called,
"the meanest thing I ever said about anyone...
intentionally."
From Randy: Person Place Thing began as a radio show
for WAMC, all studio recordings. When I wanted to try doing shows
on stage, I invited my friend David Rakoff to be the first guest, an experiment to see
if the thing would work in front of a live audience. It
wasn’t much of a test. David was, characteristically, so
amusing, so insightful, so charming, that he would have made
any format a delight. We could have done the show on ice,
and he’d have flourished. We recorded this on March 14, 2012; David
died on August 9. I
miss him.
