'Presidential Rollercoaster' Introduces Candidates as Real-Life People so Voters Can ‘Sense Whether They Will Follow Through’

As the 2024 presidential election picks up steam, we speak to the producer of a show that’s about the candidates themselves. Through candid conversations—and a little bit of humor—award-winning novelist and accomplished screenwriter Roger Simon allows viewers to meet the candidates as real people, and not just authority figures. There are already two episodes out, and many more to come. The producer of “The Presidential Roller Coaster,” Mr. Simon explains that while it’s quite important to understand what the candidates’ policies are, it is just as important for voters to really get to know the person behind the public persona.
