*Who am I?
Daedalus Howell is the host of The Drive, 3-6 pm, weekdays on 95.5 FM, editor of the North Bay Bohemian and Pacific Sun newspapers, and writer-director most recently of the feature film Werewolf Serenade. Based in Petaluma, California, Howell has built a multifaceted body of work that interrogates the myths of media and identity through a heady admixture of humor and self-reflection.
