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 eleven host, Blake Howard joins former journalist, showrunner of "Good Girls Revolt," writer on "Narcos" and the upcoming "Dune: The Sisterhood," Dana Calvo. Dana explains to Blake that this minute needs to be taught at Columbia Journalism School because Redford/Woodford threads the interactions with an underlying "give me a breadcrumb, and I'll be on my way."
