David Ossman is known to many Minicon 31 attendees as a founding member of Firesign Theatre (1966 - 1985), to which he returned for a 1993 national tour and a new album now in development. He's written, directed and/or produced many science fiction radio plays through his work with Boston's WGBH, the Midwest Radio Theater Workshop in Columbia, MO, and his family production company, Otherworld Media (Judith Walcutt, its executive producer, is his wife).
Some of David's radio scripts star George Tirebiter, a Firesign character, and he's now working on his second Tirebiter mystery novel, some of which takes place at a science fiction convention. The first one is The Ronald Reagan Murder Mystery. In the 1950's, David produced a library of interviews on the "beat poets," and he's published several books of poetry himself.
At Minicon, we expect readings from his novel in progress as well as some participation "on the air."
