The Honest Actors' Podcast
In Memoriam: John Rogan (1938-2017)
•
This morning, I'm very sad to hear of the passing of the incandescent John Rogan. I interviewed him at his home a little under two years ago and left with a spring in my step. Here he was, in a wheelchair and heavily reliant on the care and assistance of others, talking about his life - and his health - as a great gift. Philosophical doesn't begin to cover it. Thanks, John, for the perspective.
I'm away from home at the monent, so haven't been able to re-record an intro, but hope this rough edit will fill the gap in the meantime. Here is 26 minutes of audio I'm immensely proud of, and which put a smile on my face once again as I listened back this morning.
To John.
