The March
I wanted to go. I felt I needed to go. This isn’t a problem that just snuck up on us. It’s something that’s been building for decades right out in the open, because everyone in power keeps shrugging their … Continue reading →
ted krever
Ted Krever watched the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, went to Woodstock (the good one), and graduated Sarah Lawrence College with a useless degree in creative writing. He spent the next few decades in media journalism, at ABC News on the magazine show Day One with Forrest Sawyer and the Barbara Walters Interviews of a Lifetime series, as General Manager of BNNtv, a documentary production company, creating programs for CNN, A&E, Court TV, CBS, MTV News, Discovery People and CBS/48 Hours, and as VP/Production of a short-lived dotcom, followed swiftly by nine months of unemployment. Ted now writes novels in NY City. He has married for the second time, a triumph of optimism and takes up space in an apartment ruled by two cats. He was once accused of attempting to blow up Ethel Kennedy with a Super-8 projector.
It was 45 Years Ago Today…
I went to Woodstock. The first one – the good one. 45 years ago today. It was my first concert. It certainly set a high bar for the rest, though I’ve seen a few good ones over the years. It wasn’t … Continue reading →

Starting today (minutes ago, for that matter), Mindbenders (1) went up -free – on Wattpad! Wattpad, for those of you not in the know (like me a few months ago), is the largest collection of readers on the Internet. The … Continue reading →

Yes, but I MEAN it this time! The manuscript is finally finished (for the moment) and being sent to beta readers today. So I have to wait for their feedback – and inevitably, I’ll do another run-through for cuts and timing and … Continue reading →
Net Neutrality (Again)
I received an email today from an action group, saying they’d had an interview with Chairman Wheeler of the FCC and that he said that letters from individuals speaking about their personal situations would be given the most weight in … Continue reading →
Net Neutrality!
I am working hard these days in the fight for Net Neutrality. Here is the note I enclosed with the petition below and why you should sign it (and all the others like it): The FCC’s proposed policy is a worst-case … Continue reading →
The Old Trouper
I worked with Mickey Rooney once, on a thirty-second cheap-as-paper spot for some product, God knows what. We set up camera and lights in some tiny hotel room off Times Square, it was probably in the early Eighties. We set … Continue reading →
Tales of the City #3,643
If New Yorkers are different (and they’ll tell you they are), it’s because they’re Masters of Incongruity. If there’s anything New York excels at, Incongruity is it. Other cities have the best rivers flowing through the middle of town or … Continue reading →
Truth Over Law
I’ve been quiet for a while because I’m WRITING (almost finished with Mindbenders 2: Under the Radar)! And I rarely deal with politics here because I think it’s mature of me to pick my battles and I try to be … Continue reading →
A Tale of Two Myths
I stopped watching TV regularly when I started making documentaries, about twenty years ago. Maybe watching started to feel like work. But I taught my son at an early age that everything he saw on TV was pretend, because the … Continue reading →
