Why Stats Don't Define Safety, Art vs. Artist & Guest Marc Unger

This week, host Ian Heller talks to his friend Marc. Marc Unger is a nationally headlining comedian, actor, screenwriter, and former radio talk show host with a brilliant 35-year career. Using Marc's journey from a comic rising in the ranks to a creator navigating the cutthroat entertainment industry, they trace the intersection of art, geography, and culture. They dig deep into the city of Baltimore, breaking past the gritty, binary caricatures left behind by shows like Homicide: Life on the Street and The Wire to look at the nuanced, beautifully textured reality of the city. They also tackle the messy relationship between art and the artist, exploring how deeply flawed people can create breathtaking beauty, and why we’ve been trained to make everything binary when we should be examining the nuance. Plus, Ian highlights Marc's award-winning episodic dramedy series, "Thespian". Based heavily on Marc’s own personal journey and deeply rooted in the heart of Baltimore, the show captures the hilarious and poignant struggles of what it really means to pursue your craft.Watch "Thespian" right now on Amazon Prime Video: https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0SDLIAHG5A42OCLSEJYFXT3A8DDon't forget to hit that Subscribe button to support the team in bringing you "What If I'm Right?"
