David Page is a television producer who worked in investigative journalism and network news for NBC and ABC. He owns and operates Page Productions, his own production company.

As a producer for shows like Good Morning America and the Today Show, he was on the forefront of many historic events. He worked on the other side of the "Iron Curtain" and walked through the Berlin Wall on the day it was dismantled. He interviewed Muammar Gaddafi in the remains of his Tripoli home after a US bombing, he ate breakfast with Yasser Arafat and provided extensive coverage of the Romanian Civil War.

After 15 years, he and his wife decided that Network News had changed too much and decided to move on to another passion, food. He began pitching shows all over when one off the cuff idea about "Diners, Drive Ins and Dives" struck the Food Network's fancy. Mr. Page produced the show for 11 seasons.

Mr. Page comes on the Edlow Podcast to discuss producing network news, world politics, the fall of Communism, Social Democracy, Food, the creation of Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, his new book and a new radio show that is currently being syndicated.
