Steve Stoliar, Part 1

Steve Stoliar is a man of many talents. He's a gifted mimic, voiceover artist, writer, and pop culture historian. At the age of 19, he was hired on as an assistant to the legendary Groucho Marx. Soon, he was working as the comedian's principal archivist and friend, spending evenings with the likes of Mae West, S.J. Perlman, and Zeppo. His book, Raised Eyebrows, My Years Inside Groucho's House, details his time with Groucho and is a compelling read.

In this episode, we tlak about Steve's youth in St. Louis, moving to Los Angeles at a young age, being terrified by The Shaggy Dog, and all things Marx Brothers. We also talk about the joys of discovering old things like movies and books.
