The nytheatrecast welcomes an old friend, Tom X. Chao, to chat with host, Martin Denton about his upcoming show, Callous Cad. With Tom is his co-star, Rosalie Purvis. Tom and Rosalie begin by talking of the very beginnings of the show and, later, Tom relates some background about his earlier productions.

Since much of Tom's work reflects his own persona (or so he says), he relates a bit of personal background. Tom and Rosalie talk about how they met and the makings of the show. The dry wit of both makes for easy, fun listening.
