I have been listening to the Ben Mankiewicz podcast series and have caught up and I’m looking for something similar.
I tried very hard to listen to a podcast called “You must remember this”, but the host’s voice just gets on my last nerve. She ennounciates things so specifically in a very affected way that drives me crazy. Her ‘t’ sounds are particularly harsh. Then she insists on doing a bad Bette Davis impersonation whenever she has a direct quote from somebody. It doesn’t matter who she’s quoting. It’s not even usually Bette Davis that she is quoting. I just can’t anymore even though I find the context mildly entertaining.
the Ben Mankiewicz one is about eight episodes each and it’s usually a deep dive. There was one on Lucille Ball, one on Pam Grier and 2 others. They’re really really interesting. He does interviews with people and of course he’s just incredibly knowledgeable because of his job.
At the beginning of a pandemic. I listened to a really interesting one about the Wizard of Oz that talked about the making of it and that was great, but I can’t find it again. I don’t know who did it or if they had other ones but I would love some thing about old Hollywood movies, actors whatever.
Something like the little clips they do in the introduced movies on TCM but more in-depth and in podcast form anyone have any suggestions?
Also I tried the Leonard Maltin ones because I remember when we first came here my dad had his red book and I loved that thing. I read it anytime we would watch any old movie on TV, but his daughter is super annoying so I can’t listen to his either.
Clearly I have a low tolerance for annoying people, so keep that in mind.
