Press Play with Madeleine Brand
'Home Is Burning' Ten years ago, Dan Marshall lived a pretty carefree existence. He was in his mid-20s in Los Angeles; he had a fancy corporate job; he was in love; he partied and had fun. Then, everything changed. Dan’s father was diagnosed with ALS, Lou Gehrig’s disease, and his mother’s cancer, which had been in remission, returned. So Dan put everything on hold and returned to his childhood home in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The Business
In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability Scott Silveri has written and produced sitcoms for more than 20 years. In all that time, he never encountered a TV family that looked anything like the one he grew up in -- with a mom, a dad...and a brother with cerebral palsy. He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."
