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 three host, Blake Howard joins critic, journalist, best-selling author and host of Josie and the Podcats, Maria Lewis. Blake and Maria discuss finding the obsessive qualities intersecting in all of their projects, wanting to be reincarnated as a production designer and expressions that can only be described as butthole clenching.
