All The President's Minutes - Minute 116 with Alexei Toliopoulos and Cameron James
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 116, I join Australia's mystery podcast "Woodstein" behind Finding Drago and sequel series Finding Desperado - Alexei Toliopoulos and Cameron James. Alexei, Cam and I discuss pushing the envelope to get people on the record, inspirations and evolution in their latest Finding Desperado series and we get a vitally important update on the status of Cam's corduroy purchase.
