Independent Minds: Peter Sellers
Peter Sellers' comic genius is undeniable. His radio, television, and film work has influenced everyone from the Monty Python troupe to Mike Myers. Now, four decades after the height of Peter Sellers' career, David D'Arcy hosts an engaging look at this comic genius, with comments from Sellers' collaborators Blake Edwards, Paul Mazursky and Joe McGrath, as well as Mike Myers, Tracey Ullman, John Lithgow, Geoffrey Rush, and Sellers biographers Ed Sikov and Roger Lewis.

Independent Minds: American Splendor
David D'Arcy hosts a 27:00 interview with first-class curmudgeon and American Splendor subject Harvey Pekar, his wife and collaborator Joyce Brabner and refreshingly ordinary daughter Danielle. Their struggles with life: proliferating books and records, marriage, money and cancer bring a revealing perspective to "everyday."
