SAN RAMON, CA and LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 27, 2011) - Thousands of US troops and veterans will want to tune in to AFN's "American Dream" radio show when the consummate master of reality shows, Thom Beers, talks to host Kristin Best about his struggle and ultimate success in one of the toughest businesses in the world -- show business.
American Dream, produced by eQuest for its OFCCP Compliance and Veteran Out-Reach programs, is a weekly series that interviews celebrities and professional business people as they reconstruct their accomplishments, disappointments, and achievements in their careers.
In one segment, Beers talks about how his number one rated show, "Deadliest Catch" was conceived. "...during the filming of a documentary for the Discovery Channel, I found myself on a fishing boat in the Bering Sea in the middle of the worst storm in 70 years; with 4 boats underwater and 7 fatalities; it was the most terrifying experience imaginable. When I returned home with some incredible footage both the network and I agreed that something like this would make compelling television programming..."
Mr. Beers' production company, Original Productions, a FremantleMedia company, has received six Primetime Emmy® Awards and 24 nominations. Mr. Beers' interview is due to air in early 2012.
American Dream is broadcast through the Armed Forces Radio Network to over 177 countries.
