Michael Smerconish: Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started Talking

CNN host  Michael Smerconish celebrates his 30th year as a talk radio host in this dynamic, one-man performance, which is both an intimate memoir and a unique explanation of the origin of our nation’s partisan divide. Only Smerconish can regale with stories that range from: meeting Ronald Reagan as a newly minted voter, dining for eight hours with Fidel Castro, entertaining Rock and Roll Hall of Famers’ YES in his back yard, and confronting the living members of Led Zeppelin with a demand that they reunite. Smerconish’s political journey from reliable Republican to one of the nation’s leading independent voices is both personal to him and a compelling explanation of the nation’s shift toward partisanship.
