  • Compelling and amazingly well done

    This is a truly wonderful show. Travis Mushett does an amazing job bringing Weimar Germany to life through his incredibly lively and engaging commentary on the most important films of that era. The rhythm and flow of this show is flawless. It is hard to believe that this is Travis Mushett’s first podcast. It is compelling, passionate, and at times deeply moving. A great listen.

    It’s not only informative but engaging, humorous, passionate and political.

    I’ve binge listened to these 6 episodes over 2 days, prompting me to re... more

    Travis' first season focuses on the films of the Weimar Republic (1918-1933), contextualising each movie in light of the story of its making, the personalities who made it, the surrounding history in which it was made and some fun bits of trivia (did you know Fritz Lang almost directed The Cabient o... more
