I’ve fallen pretty hard for the American Cinematographer podcast. Fascinating interviews with DPs. And they really get into the nitty gritty technical details that I love about visuals, like lens, lighting, aspect ratio, and film stock choices.

:nice:

I'll be checking this out. Thanks.

Just binged the Watergate pod "Slow Burn". I knew the skeleton of the story, the rest was fascinating.

Second season announced yesterday too. Step up Bill and Monica.

Quote:
The dream (and nightmare) of the ‘90s is alive in Slow Burn. After spending its first season examining the Watergate scandal and the fall of Richard Nixon, Slate’s political documentary podcast is coming back for its sophomore season on August 8. This time, host Leon Neyfakh and producer Andrew Parsons will train their attention on a more recent presidential scandal, the shadow of which looms large over us even today: the impeachment of Bill Clinton in the late 1990s.

When Slow Burn debuted last November, the podcast presented itself as a pursuit of the following question: What did it feel like to live through a significant historical episode? Neyfakh and Parsons were additionally guided by a more pressing question: How can the past help us understand the present? The show’s efforts to build an analytical bridge between Watergate and the current presidential drama didn’t end up being particularly revelatory, but the gambit was nonetheless appreciated and the quality of its execution was far above so many other Trump-themed and Trump-adjacent podcasts. With its focus on the Clinton impeachment — which features individuals and questions that remain very much active today — the Slow Burn team has the opportunity to more immediately thread together the past and the present, and as a result, insert itself more aggressively into current political conversations.

Expect overlooked side-stories and semi-forgotten characters (Linda Tripp! Lucianne Goldberg!), excessive use of the -gate suffix (File-gate! Travel-gate! Nanny-gate!), and all the details that come with the ‘90s (fax machines!).


This has been good so far. I was barely conscious when Clinton was elected (8 years old) and starting to become politcally aware at the end of his term, so it's good to get a deep dive on some of these things that I've heard about for years, was alive for, but don't know the details on.

If you didn't listen to the Nixon series, that's good, too.

I'm waiting to binge Slow Burn season 2.

Cover Up about Ted Kennedy and Mary Jo Kopechne and Chappaquiddick Island is alright. Not quite as good as Slow Burn or RFK tapes. Still a decent listen though.

There was a part in the middle there talking about the fear around a new job and it put some things that I've been thinking about into perspective.

I've really grown to love Stuff You Should Know. The hosts have a great rapport, like the millennial versions of the guys from The Simpsons' KBBL. All sorts of awesome episodes, but the one on The Dyatlov Pass Mystery is a great place to start.

The Dyatlov mystery is one of my favorite things in the world. I am fascinated by it.

Speaking of favorite mysteries: I was always a fan of Oak Island until there was that "History" channel show about it.

I used to love SYSK. My brother & sister in law are huge fans so they took us to one of their live shows. It pretty much sucked & turned me off from listening to the pod. I have been thinking lately that it might be time to give them another chance. The Dyatlov episode sounds like a great re-entry point.
