Ron Howard

On today's podcast we're joined by someone who really needs no introduction, Ron Howard. You know him from the "Andy Griffith Show," "Happy Days," and of course his incredible directing career with films like "Apollo 13" and "A Beautiful Mind." But today, we're talking about a project that's especially meaningful during disability awareness month, his 1980 film "Skyward," which can be watched on YouTube.

Ron tells about a co-worker who helped him make the film and some of his thoughts on the movie industry.
