Need to listen to something while on the go over this holiday weekend? How about an interview from 14 years ago about film? Just what you were hoping I was going to recommend? Yes!
Don’t click away yet! Stay with me.
It is from America’s only conglomeration of national public radio stations, the ingeniously-named National Public Radio, and it is an interview with two Chicago newspaper film reviewers, Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. Trust me on this: if you are the podcast type or need something to listen to while writing poetry to me, it fits very nicely.
In the middle, inexplicably, they throw in a short interview with Martin Scorcese that is OK, but out of place, as Siskel and Ebert’s storytelling is enough for the whole show.
This is the link. Feel free to vent below if I have wasted precious time out of your life that you will never get back.
