    "The Plus One" with Author David Klein

    On this episode of The Dana Buckler Show, I'm joined by writer, editor, and podcaster David Klein. David's new book, The Plus One: Getting By on Good Connections in the Analog Age, is a fascinating memoir that chronicles his remarkable life story. In the book, David shares how having a very famous cousin—none other than Winona Ryder—opened doors to incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experiences that most of us could only dream about. It's an honest, insightful, and often hilarious look at what happens when proximity to fame collides with everyday life.
