The Wire Podcasts
Here's a podcast of a panel discussion between four people who played integral, yet completely different, roles in creating the world of The Wire. Marc interviews Nina Noble, Executive Producer for The Wire, who spent the past several years doing all the behind the scenes work that is required for a successful show. Marc interviews Bob Wisdom, who portrayed Major Bunny Colvin, a featured character in season three when he took it upon himself to drastically change drug policy in West Baltimore. Marc’s interview with Andre Royo, the actor who has so deftly portrayed Bubbles during the last few years. In an interview conducted at his Baltimore rowhome, Clarke Peters talks with Marc about the experience of spending the past several years portraying the intellectual cop, Detective Lester Freamon. A soup kitchen featured in the final season is actually a real place-and a rather special one. Marc visits Viva House, a Catholic Worker soup kitchen on the west side of Baltimore. Baltimore-based actor Robert Chew stopped by the studios to talk with Marc about the character Proposition Joe, the east side drug kingpin on The Wire that Robert spent the past several years portraying. Marc speaks with David Simon, the creator of The Wire. Marc Steiner talks with Ed Burns, a former Baltimore City cop and public school teacher.
