Playing Favorites host Dashiell Meier welcomes Pulitzer Prize-winning author, humor columnist and amateur musician Dave Barry to the show. The two talk about Dave’s start as a writer, getting his first book published, creating the wildly popular “Peter and the Starcatchers” series with co-author Ridley Pearson, and what his favorite books were growing up. Dave even agrees to invest in a business based on one of Dashiell’s (as yet unrealized) inventions!
