Description

Overview
US screenwriter, producer, and journalist. Former chairman of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (Emmy Awards). Co-host of the 'Need to Know' podcast with Ross Coulthart. Operates needtoknow.today.

Contributions
Book 'A.D. After Disclosure' (2012, with Richard Dolan) — early thought experiment about the consequences of a disclosure revelation. TV series 'Dark Skies' (1996-97). Regular analyses on Substack. Historical perspective on UAP in pop culture.

Strengths and Weaknesses
Unique connection of Hollywood and UAP journalism. Emmy chairmanship lends mainstream credibility. However: primarily commentator and cultural critic, not investigative journalist. 'Need to Know' podcast is entertaining but analytically less deep than The Debrief.
