In the wake of Ed Asner's passing I am re-posting my 2009 podcast interview when the acting legend and the iconic "The Mary Tyler Moore" star came to Boulder to play William Jennings Bryan in a one-night-only radio-theater presentation of "The Great Tennessee Monkey Trial" at Macky Auditorium on the University of Colorado campus. Asner talks about a variety of topics, including how fundamentalism in America impedes our daily lives in incremental ways. Run time: 13 minutes.
