  • Summary

  • Just a few years ago, Peter Risafi, now on the cusp of his 66th birthday, wasn’t sure he’d live as he battled a rare cancer-like blood disorder, amyloidosis, which had targeted his heart.

    But a chance encounter last year with the creative mastermind behind the CENTER for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck, landed Risafi a rare opportunity to direct a Shakespeare comedy at one of the Hudson Valley’s preeminent community theaters.

    Risafi walks listeners through his challenges as a chubby gay teen, stem cell transplants and cancer, and his newfound joy working with local actors.

    This podcast is a joint production of The Daily Catch and Radio Free Rhinecliff. Produced and engineered by Matty Rosenberg, associate producer Jenn Hammoud. Questions or comments? Email emily@thedailycatch.org or comments@radiofreerhinecliff.org
