About this episode
PBS's Masterpiece has premiered the British miniseries Press , a tale of warring London newspapers, and we've brought a former newspaper reporter, Daniel MacEachern, back to the podcast to talk about it! Around The Dial clicks through Evil , Big Mouth , and Cash Cab , before we each pitch our own Fosse/Verdon -style limited series based on a real person's life (and possibly a specific biography). Danny presents The Grinder 's "Grinder v. Grinder" for induction into the Canon. Then we're on to naming the week's Winner and Loser, and finishing up with a Game Time that might sound a little familiar. Put down any newspaper you might be reading and listen to us instead!
