Today's interview is with Cal Poly Humboldt Lecturer Emeritus James Floss. We discuss his varied professional career and the multiple meanings of both "retirement" and "inspiration." He got his start in theater "accidentally," he says, with his many years of work with The Chamber Readers and then moving on to acting and directing solo and ensemble theater productions. He taught oral interpretation and public speaking for more than 30 years, instructing these courses for both Cal Poly Humboldt and College of the Redwoods. He produced and hosted "Immigrant Voices" for several years for KHSU. Recently, Floss has devoted much of his time to writing stories and poetry with a creative nod to science fiction. He performs some of these works during this interview.
