Episode description

Just in time for the Rennaissance of Barney (With a New Documentary and Feature Film slated for later this year), The Robio kicks off the New Year with a long-awaited new episode; an interview with Larry Rifkin, the PBS Executive responsible for bringing the well-loved Purple Dinosaur to the masses.  But don't hate him for that particular achievement; instead, be inspired by the multi-faceted, diverse career of a guy who took everything he loved as a kid and found a way to make a living off all of it.  It's all in his new book, 'No Dead Air: Career Reflections From the TV Executive Who Saved Barney From Extinction.'  It's quite a unique episode.  

Cue John Hammond: 'We've spared no expense.'
