We’re celebrating Charles Dubin on this episode of MASH Matters! Jeff & Ryan welcome Charlie’s daughter, Zan, to honor the man who directed more episodes of M*A*S*H than any other director. We discuss Charlie’s early years in entertainment, his legendary career, how he discovered Cinderella, his gentle optimism, and his years spent on the infamous Hollywood Blacklist. This episode also features a tribute to M*A*S*H Executive Producer Burt Metcalfe, who passed away in July 2022.
