Alex "AX" FosterTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Alex Foster. AX Foster is a former Senior Assistant State's Attorney for the state of Maryland. He practiced as a prosecutor in that office for twenty years before starting his own firm and becoming a defense attorney. After 15 or so years in that role; AX decided the time was right to write his first legal thriller novel called 'Gavel to Gavel'. In this episode, we chat about his previous career as an actor for 7 years; where he had tons of roles on several different daytime soap operas, and why he decided to switch gears and become a lawyer. Then we get into some of his State's Attorney days. We talk about his prosecuting criminal law where the cases ranged from drugs, gangs, animal cruelty, and even murder. Of course I find out why he decided to change sides and become a defense lawyer. We talk about the differences in the field, as well as some of the hurdles to keeping a law practice going. Finally, AX tells me why he decided to write his first novel; and why Covid was the right time. We discuss the basic premise of the book, and how many books he thinks will be in The Seneca County Courthouse Series. Book 1 of the series (Gavel to Gavel) came out a couple of years ago, and book 2 (Double Blind) is out NOW. If you like John Grisham or James Patterson novels, than you are sure to love The Seneca County Courthouse Series of legal crime thrillers.

Chris Bauer has a decades old tradition of acting in cool projects.  Not just quality projects.. but projects that tend to be perceived as the coolest shows on TV.  Chris has portrayed incredible scene stealing characters on HBO's The Wire, True Blood, and The Deuce, and most recently on Starz professional wrestling drama, Heels.       In this episode, Chris goes deep on process.. or maybe it's anti-process.  He talks about using his craft to channel an infinite number of creative possibilities both in life and art.  Chris frames it as being open to the "unconcious messengers of the muses.”  We talk about navigating the ego and how necessary it is for him to constantly be aware of how ego is not akin to talent.   There's really no point in trying to explain Chris' acting genius, you just need to listen to him break it down for yourself.  We promise you, this episode will expand your perspective on the artistic process, and you'll get a little glimpse into the mind of the great Chris Bauer.

This week on The Wire Talks, Sidharth is in conversation with Mridula Mukherjee, Noted Historian. Historic movements are always penned in textbooks in order to let the readers know about the rise and fall of that particular era. And this compilation of various happenings in the past is nothing less than painstaking efforts by experts over decades.
