Description
This podcast celebrates the incredible body of work done by broadcast legend David Letterman and Company. On the show we highlight folks who worked for Dave or were a part of any of his shows productions, people who had an encounter with one of his shows, or are enthusiasts with relevant discussion points or memories pertaining to any of Letterman's productions or endeavors. The Podcast does not focus on anything gossipy or salacious; instead it is meant to be a living record of the unprecedented catalog of content Dave & Co created. All Letterman fans are welcome to gather in this community.
