Episode notes

Jeremy Vest (R) cooks with past TSOYA guest Amy Sedaris

Our guests this week are two of the folks behind “How’s Your News,” a new MTV series which follows a group of reporters with physical and developmental disabilities around the country as they interview celebrities and just plain folks. The show is hilarious, insightful and a whole lot of fun (for both the viewer and, apparently, the reporters). Producer Arthur Bradford has grown “How’s Your News?” from a summer camp activity to a feature-length film and now to it’s current incarnation. Jeremy Vest, pictured above, is one of the reporting team. He has the developmental disability Williams’ Syndrome.

We talked with Jeremy and Arthur about their favorite moments making the show, and the challenges of guiding such a heterogeneous group through such an ambitious project.
