All The President's Minutes - Minute 47 with Jess Hill
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 47, I join Stella award-winning author of See What You Made Me Do (a deep dive into the abuse so many women and children experience reinforced by the justice system they trust to protect them) - investigative journalist Jess Hill. Jess and I talk about a story consuming your life, the necessity for articulating the good with the horrifically bad, working with sources and finally recounting an experience of a keynote speech from the legendary Woodward that felt profoundly obsolete.
