About this episode
Joshua Oppenheimer, the director of the recent apocalypse musical The End , starring Tilda Swinton and Michael Shannon, joins us to discuss musicals and his past work crafting brilliant documentaries. Plus, we'll hear a direct dispatch from our friend Meghan Daum, whose house was destroyed in the Southern California fires. And I think we can safely say that Donald Trump won't be waging war on Greenland, even if he won't say it clearly. Listen to Meghan's full story from The Unspeakable Podcast at her substack , and consider becoming a paid subscriber. She's a friend of The Gist, a fantastic writer, and a person who could use your support.
