On today's episode, I talk to writer Jerry Stahl. Originally
from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Jerry won a Pushcart Prize early in
his writing career before taking a detour into writing erotica and
for magazines like Hustler. This led to another detour writing for
TV and movies, although "detour" here might be incorrect,
considering this has been a large chunk of his professional career.
Jerry penned scripts for ALF, Thirtysomething, Moonlighting, Twin
Peaks, CSI, Maron, Escape at Dannemora as well as films like Bad
Boys II. As an author, Jerry has written a number of incredible
books and memoirs including Perv: A Love Story, I, Fatty, Permanent
Midnight and his latest Nein, Nein, Nein!: One Man's Tale of
Depression, Psychic Torment, and a Bus Tour of the Holocaust.
