For the 10th official episode of the PARAMERICAN RADIO podcast, Chad Calek and Justin Holstein sit down with reality television pioneer David Burns of MTV'S "THE REAL WORLD: SEATTLE" and MTV'S "THE CHALLENGE", in which Burns discusses how he became the star of Calek and Holstein's first ever feature film, THE PRIVATE PUBLIC, which was also the only fictional film that Calek and Holstein have ever produced, as THE PRIVATE PUBLIC was a romantic comedy based on Calek and Holstein's college years. In what is also the most revealing podcast to date when it comes to Calek's history, Burns discusses how a chance meeting at a bar, followed by Calek tracking down and cold-calling Burns' mother and high school father figure, led to Burns agreeing to take part in THE PRIVATE PUBLIC, despite the fact that Calek literally had nothing more than a script when he first approached Burns. What followed was a battle to not only make the film, but a battle by Calek and Holstein to literally survive. Without place
