Dan Klass is a former comedian/failed actor/stay-at-home dad, trying to raise normal children in a small house under the flight path at Los Angeles International Airport.

He is short and bald and somewhat depressed. And yet, he is trying. Trying to make sense of being a man in a traditionally woman’s role. Trying to make sense of the bizarre “culture” of Los Angeles, in which he no longer seems to take part. Trying to get through all the laundry, play dates and auditions with some shred of sanity…

Dan Klass is also a new media pioneer, who About.com calls “one of the smartest minds in podcasting,” and is the co-author of “Podcast Solutions: the Complete Guide to Podcasting.”
