From his first job working at WQED with Fred Rogers on the famed 'Mr. Roger's Neighborhood' television series, to radio programming gigs at WDVE in Pittsburgh and DC 101 in Washington DC, the media loving consultant talks about switching over to television and Turner Broadcasting (remember 'Night Tracks'?) and how he helped design radio music scheduling software for RCS.  Dwight also discusses surviving cancer during the pandemic with his current book 'Mashed Potatoes: Cancer, Covid & Comfort Food' and what inspired him to write 'How To Hire Great People'’. From radio to television to writing to podcasting - we cover all kinds of media topics in the studio - so slip on the headphones and tune in!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          About the Spotlight Conversations podcast:Tune in as I invite friends inside my cozy linoleum free recording studio to talk about all things media - radio, television, music, film, voiceovers, audiobooks, publishing - if guests are in the spotlight, we're talkin'!  Refreshingly unscripted and unusually entertaining, listen in as each guest gets real about their careers in the entertainment biz, from where they started to how it's going.
