Podcast Overview
<p>Steve Otis Gunn is a writer, performer, and musician — and a former sound engineer who has spent most of his career in close proximity to people doing interesting things, occasionally on purpose. His Edinburgh Fringe debut, Steve Otis Gunn is Uncomfortable, earned a ★★★★ review, and his first book, You Shot My Dog and I Love You, is available everywhere books are sold. He created Television Times to have the conversations he actually wants to have — with actors, comedians, filmmakers, and creative misfits who've either spent their lives on television or watched a lot of it. The format is loose, the topics wander, and the whole thing tends to end up somewhere nobody planned. Mishaps, wrong turns, and the time everything went sideways. This is where those stories live.</p><br><p>Original music written by Steve Otis Gunn (unless otherwise credited)</p><br><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tvtimespod</p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tvtimespod</p><p>Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tvtimespod</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
