Why would a New York Times best-selling author sit alone in a dark cave for an hour? What does an executive producer for a movie really do? And can you be happy and still make good art? In this episode, Pete sits down with his long-time friend—and author of So Cold the River—Michael Koryta to discuss these questions and more over lunch from DeAngelo's. They also discuss Michael's newest novel, The Chill, published under the name Scott Carson.
