This sketch was produced in collaboration with my friend and colleague Dan Weissmann, originally for Vocalo.org. Dan met Stephen Redd in a bar in Chesterton, Indiana. Stephen was one of those rare people who open up right away. He was frank, boastful, unapologetic about his life choices, and overall a totally memorable character.
These pieces were recorded by Dan, and edited and mixed by Robin.
