They say that truth is stranger than fiction.  Great documentaries have proven that they can be even more compelling and entertaining than anything your average Hollywood screenwriter could dream up.

 Acclaimed documentary filmmaker and writer/journalist LAURIE GWEN SHAPIRO – whose already-bestselling book “THE AVIATOR AND THE SHOWMAN” has been released to critical raves – joins Dan for an informed, freewheeling conversation about their favorite docs.  From coal mines and rock concerts…to a decaying mansion, the Supreme Court, and way beyond…these are amazing stories told by fascinating people -- and they all really happened.
