KCRW "Radio Race" Experience (and Lessons) w/ Scott Wen

A few episodes ago, I talked about my experience with KCRW's Radio Race, a 24-hour "contest" where participants produce four-minute radio segments based on the same brief.

In this episode, I talk with Scott Wen, who co-produced one the contest's finalists, The Persimmon Tree.
