Today on the show I am thrilled to welcome writer and historian Sam Wasson. Sam is my favorite Hollywood historian. He is the author of several fantastic books including Fifth Avenue, 5 a.m. and The Big Goodbye. He co-authored Hollywood: The Oral History with film scholar and educator Jeanine Basinger. Sam's latest book is The Path to Paradise: A Francis Ford Coppola Story.

I had such a great time chatting with Sam. We talk about our mutual love for early Hollywood, Coppola's company American Zoetrope, and how Sam came to publish a limited run of Bruce Wagner's masterpiece The Marvel Universe.

Amazing chat! Make sure to check out Sam's new book.

Thanks for listening.
