Let Del Reisman take you back to the Golden Age of Television. When he was a kid hanging out on the Universal backlot, or later in the midst of 35 missions as a bombardier flying over Germany during WWII, Del had no idea he’d wind up smack in the middle of one of the most creatively fervent periods in the history of American Broadcasting. When TV drama was in its infancy and young men like John Frankenheimer, Franklin Schaffner and Paddy Chayefsky were telling the country all about itself with live television productions, Del was there. He was also there with Rod Serling when a little CBS show called The Twilight Zone hit the airwaves and changed television forever. Listen in.

There are times when regardless of your age you want to sit back and let yourself get lost in the experiences of someone who lived and worked through a golden age or lets say Interesting Times when almost anything was possible.
A great interview and that was only part of Del’s story.

I’ve really enjoyed the Zicree Simkins podcast since I discovered it this year. This particular episode featuring Del Reisman was superb! I was enthralled listening to Del’s stories of the early days of TV and later working with Rod Sterling. Utterly fascinating! You mentioned that you wanted to interview Del again for a Part 2 interview. I hope you can do that soon!
