The Q&A Cafe Archives// Media Week// Leonard Downie Jr.

The timing for this April '08 interview with Washington Post editor Leonard Downie Jr was quite timely -- the Post had just enjoyed its most recent experience with winning Pulitzers! It was a victory lap Downie and also teeing up his retirement from the paper. It also was a taping of the show where we attempted a very lame version of signage. #fail. Its cute to see the little sign, though.  We were always such a homemade interview show, very much in the mode of Wayne's World. Proud of that, actually. Grand was not my goal, only a good conversation in a bar. 

A rare reverse view of the set, showing the other end of the room. We did the show once a week and taped at lunchtime, and thus had to pull blackout shades down on the windows that faced M Street.
