Wire creators talk about new series

NPR interviews David Simon and Eric Overmyer about their new HBO series "Treme."
Unlike The Wire, Treme is not about drugs or rampant corruption among city officials. Instead, the series follows ordinary New Orleans citizens as they attempt to rebuild their lives following Hurricane Katrina.

"We spent almost a decade working on The Wire," Overmyer says. "In New Orleans, there's a different story here to tell and we're very intent on that. There are some things that may echo in terms of our production logic, or how we approach doing a show, but it's really a very different story."
