Show Notes
ARGUABLY MY FAVORITE EPISODE I'VE DONE SO FAR?? This one was so unbelievably fun and fulfilling. Chloe is such an incredible speaker and communicator on Appalachian issues. She has a perspective that I've almost never heard in popular media, both as a native Appalachian and an early childhood caregiver. Truly one of the most admirable and inspiring people I've met doing this. And these movies are so good! I can't believe I didn't know about them.

RIO PODDO continues with the second of the CORE WESTERNS, which is, of course, John Ford's landmark 1939 film Stagecoach. Really happy to have discussed this one! We talk a lot about it + Ford's outsize influence on the Western genre. Follow Michael here:
Was so fun to talk with ODETTE ALDRICH, who made an absolutely INCREDIBLE movie that is hopefully playing near you ASAP. Really excited for people to see this one, I loved it! It is playing at LES CAVES ST SABIN in Paris, France on October 16th at 2300 local time, I am so jealous I don't get to go to a medieval night club and see this. One day though!! Follow the movie and stuff here:
