| 7/18/24 | ![]() S1 Ep6: David Simon, bringing "Homicide A Year On The Killing Streets" to the screen. | Join Chris and Susan for an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at “Homicide: Life on the Street,” with journalist, author, writer, and producer David Simon. David delves candidly into how his award-winning 1991 book, “Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets,” was translated to the screen, how he learned to write for teleplays, and how the real crimes and detectives from the book became the engaging stories and characters portrayed in the award-winning television series.David Simon is a Baltimore-based journalist, author, and television producer. He created and produced the celebrated HBO series The Wire, which depicts an American city's political and socioeconomic fissures. A former reporter for the Baltimore Sun, Simon is the author of two books of narrative non-fiction. His first book, Homicide, was the basis for the NBC drama of that name, and his second, The Corner, became an Emmy-winning HBO miniseries. Subsequent television credits include Generation Kill, Treme, Show Me A Hero, The Deuce, and The Plot Against America. His most recent project, We Own This City, is a six-hour, limited series chronicling the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force. It examines the corruption and moral collapse that befell an American city in which the policies of drug prohibition and mass arrest were championed at the expense of actual police work.If you enjoy this podcast, please connect with us and share the episodes on social mediaYou can connect with us here: BlueSkyhttps://bsky.app/profile/homicidepod.bsky.socialInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/homicidepod/Threadshttps://www.threads.net/@homicidepodXhttps://twitter.com/homicidepodThe Podcast is also available on YouTubeMusic for the podcast by Andrew R.
