WHEN THE BAND PLAYED ON, The Audio Book, is now available from Tantor Audio! Order your copy here today!

To mark its release, I recently recorded this video conversation with Daniel Henning, the voice actor who provided the narration. Daniel has a unique relationship to the life of Randy Shilts, having appeared in the HBO film adaptation of AND THE BAND PLAYED ON in 1993. Daniel also narrated the unabridged audio book of Randy’s last work, CONDUCT UNBECOMING.

I knew when I heard the audition that Daniel had captured Randy Shilts’s voice. It was until afterwards that I learned his connection to the source material. Here is our conversation in three parts.

Part I: Daniel’s connection to the life and work of Randy Shilts

Part II: Sharing Daniel’s Memorabilia from AND THE BAND PLAYED ON, the HBO Movie

Part III: Other Books on Audio Where You Might Have Heard Daniel!
