Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Eric Stein, who grew up in Madison, Wisconsin, believes his interest in television was unintentionally spurred by his mom's decision to make their household TV-less. While he feels that some may find that a bit strange, he doesn't think it's as odd as growing up lactose intolerant in the Dairy State.

Stein began his career while attending the University of Arizona, squeezing classes between jobs as a college marketing rep for Columbia Pictures, a weekend news producer/anchor for PBS affiliate KUAT-AM/FM, and as a production crew member for KUAT-TV.

After graduating Phi Kappa Phi with High Distinction, Stein began working as a copywriter for an ad agency in Tucson where he created radio, television and print ads for a number of businesses.

With a host of award-winning ads under his belt, Stein moved to Los Angeles and began writing for Star Street, a European children's television series. Shortly thereafter, Stein was a supervising producer on Defenders of Dynatron City, an animated children's special which was the highest rated show for its time slot on the Fox Children's Network. Stein wrote the book, Everything I Know About Life I Learned From Trash Talk TV

With co-author Michael S. Bandy, Stein wrote the children's book, White Water, illustrated by Shadra Strickland (Candlewick Press), and the NAACP Image Award nominated film of the same name which was one of the highest rated movies on TVOne.

Bandy and Stein also wrote Granddaddy's Turn: A Journey to the Ballot Box, illustrated by James E. Ransome (Candlewick Press) and Northbound: A Train Ride Out of Segregation, illustrated by James E. Ransome (Candlewick Press).
