All The President's Minutes - Minute 91 with Cameron James

Powered by RedCircle

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 91, I join comedian, actor, writer, and podcast guy behind Total Reboot, Mike Check and Finding Drago, Cameron James. Cameron and I discuss the career of Robert Redford, great tactics of interrogation and - in a first for the show - being inspired to purchase a corduroy jacket.
