Favorite thing about the crew: Sid and I are both from the DC area, I first connected with him during a flight back to DC. Politics took hold of our entire conversation. Its pretty awesome that we now have a show together. Now we can expand our discussions beyond an airplane flight and into the televisions of Vandy students.
You should watch us because: Points of View compacts all the important political news you need to know. Watch us before job interviews and cocktail parties, you’ll sound intelligent and well read. You’ll thank us later.
Favorite moment on the show: Playing pump up music before the show. While everyone is reading their script, I dance around the studio.
Random fact about yourself: Childhood is about imagination. While most children were using their imagination to play tea party and dress up, I was using it hold pretend executive board meetings and mock election. I guess that’s the political junkie in me.
