Today I talk to Steve Smith - better known as RED GREEN (http://www.redgreen.com/) to millions of Canadians as well as PBS viewers. Steve talks about how he got into television, how Morag (his wife) was the one who, with sheer will, got them on TV with Smith & Smith, Me & Max, the weird Canadian TV system, and of course the origins of Red Green.
