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 106, I talk to writer, teacher, editor-at-large at Bright Wall/Dark Room , the wonderful Fran Hoepfner. Fran and I discuss journalists as conmen, her experience working for The Onion , taking Hal Holbrook's lead with inflammatory movie takes and having fun talking about the fall of Richard Nixon.
