Bill Murray has been involved with some of our favorite movies of all time: Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Moonrise Kingdom, and so many more. He doesn't like managers or agents and rumor has it, once agreed to play Garfield because he thought it was a Coen Brothers film.

This hour, we talk with Robert Schnakenberg, author of The Big Bad Book of Bill Murray, to find out what makes the famed comedian so unique. We also hear some favorite Bill Murray stories from local celebrities and members of the Sea Tea Improv Comedy Group.
