How a Chair Becomes a Celebrity

How does a simple piece of furniture discovered at the town dump become a celebrity?  Cape Cod innkeeper Beth Colt talks with WCAI's Dan Tritle about her Red Chair, its ability to bring people together, and an upcoming nationwide tour of bed and breakfast inns.

Host and producer Dan Tritle has wanted to be on the radio since he was five years old. A washashore from the Pacific Northwest, he's been at the job since May 2000, shortly after the station went on the air. He's a veteran of the Associated Press Radio Network and NPR, and has reported for several commercial and public radio stations. Dan also is a former staff member of the Washington State House of Representatives. As often as possible he bicycles into work on the Shining Sea Bike Path. Dan is seen frequently on stage at the Woods Hole Theater Company, Barnstable Comedy Club, Cotuit Center for the Arts and the Cape Cod Theater Project. A self-proclaimed nerd, he listens to obscure movie and TV soundtracks. Favorite movies: The Wizard of Oz and Forbidden Planet.
