46 – Alan Alda!

He’s here! The big man! The head cheese! Jeff & Ryan are thrilled to welcome the one and only ALAN ALDA to the second anniversary episode of the MASH Matters podcast! The man known as Hawkeye Pierce discusses his life and career – from making his stage debut as a child to writing, directing, and starring in the greatest television show of all time. We discuss his critically-acclaimed podcast, acting with his father and brother, the final days of filming, and much more. He also shares his thoughts on one of the most polarizing M*A*S*H episodes ever.
