Description
Brief clip of Justin Wilson's radio show mentioning Watergate, followed with an interview by Brooks Read and unidentified person. Wilson mentions: his many careers always starting with his hobbies; his early career as a singer; how his career of storytelling originated when he forgot the words to a song; telling stories all of his life about different subjects; how the storytelling became exclusively Cajun; why Louisiana Cajuns don't mind hearing jokes about their culture; how he became internationally known for food; and his US radio show commentary on what's going on today. The interview ends with Wilson telling a new story about a wood duck trapper who finds a tagged black crow in his trap.
