Blake Newhem Valenzuela is a ghostwriter tasked with penning the memoirs of one of New York’s most captivating figures—Tom Duane, one of the city's first openly gay and HIV-positive senators. But there's a catch: in order to get Mr. Duane's secrets, Blake must reveal his own — on air. Through a back-and-forth that’s as revealing as it is entertaining, “You Don’t Say” delves into the power of communication in all its forms. Tune in each week for transparent and irreverent discussions that will change the way you think about the art of talking.
