Description

We're taking a break from our usual format with this episode in which Roger speaks with an old pal - John Berendt. The author of the best-selling non-fiction book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" tells Roger what it's like to deal with editors and publishers, when he knew he had a hit on his hand and what it was like to travel the country doing publicity. John Berendt also acknowledges the role luck had in his success. Roger asks him about future novels and finds out what book of Berendt's only took an hour to write. It's a fascinating discussion and you'll only hear it here.

So, who is Roger Smith? He testified at the Menendez trial. He got hit on by Grace Kelly. He worked with Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Orson Welles, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Steven Spielberg, Gerald Ford, George Soros and Beverly Sills. He said opera needs subtitles. And Michael Eisner was heard to say... "Who the F*&% is Roger Smith?" Roger Smith. No, not the one married to Ann Margaret and not the one Michael Moore chased from General Motors. The OTHER one. Writer, marketing whiz, editor, entrepreneur. This Roger Smith sat down with PBS film critic and NPR radio host Bill McCuddy who asks So, who the F _is_ Roger Smith? "My real goal was to have an interesting life surrounded by fascinating people," says Roger Smith. "And at that I succeeded beyond my expectations." Have a listen and we think you'll agree.
