Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chai Vasarhelyi & Lynsey Addario (Love+War | National Geographic)
Q: Lynsey, frame it for us. Like, you know, this love and war is clearly your jam. It's the title in all of your work and a beautiful title for this film. How do you feel being both behind and in front of the camera?
It's strange to be the subject when I spend my life giving other people a platform. It feels very not organic to give myself a platform, but I felt comfortable being part of this film because it's another way to get out stories that matter to me.

Q: What did Scorsese think of your film after seeing it?
He seemed to appreciate it and mentioned he was wondering what would happen next, indicating he was engaged.
