This special episode is in tribute to Lance Reddick, who passed away on March 17th 2023, at 60. Dave, Kobi and Producer Tom talk about what Lance meant to them before releasing the full interview we recorded with him all those years ago. He talks about auditioning and joining The Wire and who he initially auditioned as Bunk and Bubble! We are eternally grateful to Lance, who joined us before we had any episodes out and paved the way for other cast and crew members to join our show. We really wouldn't be the same show without him.
