Episode 261 features Bill Mikita, Hollywood writer and film producer and Mike McCloud, creator of the World Food Championships.

Bill Mikita is the writer and producer of the movie, Chasing 3000. The movie is based on the true story of Bill and his brother's cross country trip to see Roberto Clemente get his 3,000th base hit. The story of how this career lawyer became a Hollywood writer and film producer and was able to get Ray Liotta, among other celebrities to star in the movie is fascinating. Some of those other celebrities include, Lauren Holly, M. Emmet Walsh, Lori Petty, Keith David, Trevor Morgan, Rory Culkin, Tania Raymonde, Seymour Cassel, and Willa Holland. Bill gives us an inside look at the making of the film which, in its final form seemed improbable, but Bill persevered and the result is a wonderful movie. Bill discusses his next project which is based on an amazing baseball game between two unbelievable teams and is a story you will not want to miss.

Mike McCloud is focused on making Food Sport a long-term, fun-filled legacy for the culinary industry. As the creator of the World Food Championships he appears to be on his way to doing that. The first WFC competition was in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2012 where almost 300 culinary champions gathered to compete. The event was filmed in 2013 for a reality show that aired 2014 on A&E’s FYI Channel. WFC’s 2014 competition grew 35% and culminated in the first $100,000 grand prize. In early 2016, WFC debuted its second television show on the Discovery Network and is now syndicated in 10 countries. Fast forward to 2022 when the WFC celebrated its 10th anniversary and the brand achieved a record-setting media reach of more than 6 billion and the WFC's appeal continues to grow.

We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky.
