Dane Reid is a Brooklyn, NY-born voice actor and author based in Atlanta. His voiceover work spans two decades, and his previous book, Dana the Procrastinator, was published in 2008. In his latest book, Forget Having Kids, I’m Having Fun, Dane collects anecdotes from his life and experiences from close friends. His life as the child of immigrants, his work as an after-school teacher, his passion for travel, and the complex responsibilities of raising a child are all critically examined in a child-free context.

In this episode, Dane and I discuss his experience writing the book and what he hopes readers will take away from it.
