"Firesign Theater is the reason I got into radio theater," admits Joe Bev, and adds, "I am humbled to have had such a great conversation with such a great talent. David and I had a meeting of the minds."

David and his wife Judith Walcutt were given a Lifetime Achievement "Angie" Award from the International Mystery Writers Festival, for which they produced more than a dozen new plays, including works by Mary Higgins Clark, Ray Bradbury, Rupert Holmes and Agatha Christie's "The BBC Murders," an adaptation of four of Christie's radio mysteries.  David and Judith are best known for "The War of the World's 50th Anniversary Production," the first all-digital radio drama (1988), Norman Corwin's "We Hold These Truths" (1991), "The Empire of the Air - The Men Who Made Radio" (1992) and the all-star Centennial Production of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" (2000).
