Part One: Why Is Mason Reese Crying?

WireTap

For Jonathan Goldstein, YouTube offers endless nostalgia, but he always finds himself returning to the same subject– a precocious, child actor from the early 70's named Mason Reese. And then a few months ago, Reese clips began popping up on YouTube. What's more, they appeared to be uploaded by Reese himself. Jonathan sets out to discover why– and why now, after 40 years. This episode is not available for on-demand listening, but you can purchase it on iTunes.   Season 8, Episode 6 - EP - CBC Radio
