06880: The Podcast
Dan Woog
“My podcast is an extension of my blog, “Where Westport Meets the World.” They’re casual conversations with some of the most interesting people from every niche of Westport. The only requirement is that they be intriguing, fun, and able to hold up their end of a conversation.
"Each chat is different and unscripted. But there are some themes: What got you to Westport? What kept you here? How did you become the person you are? What’s your life like, professionally and personally? How does it fit into the life of this town? What’s ahead, for you and for all of us?”
