About this episode
All the President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute 55, I join editor of the 7am podcast, Osman Faruqi. Osman and I discuss the awe-inspiring Black Lives Matter protests, the murkiness of political decision making, and the perverse imperatives of story prioritisation in the digital age.
