The Kulturecast
Weirding Way MediaMovies don't happen in a vacuum — they shape the culture, and the culture shapes them right back. The Kulturecast lives in that feedback loop. Each week, host Chris Stachiw — the Doctor of Podcasting — sits down with a rotating table of guest co-hosts to dig into a film, a filmmaker, or a corner of pop culture and trace how it moved the needle, and how the world moved it in return.Less "was it goo... more

Really loving this series. Three excellent podcasts featuring my favorite actor and one of my favorite directors. I think you overlooked one gem though: ROBIN & MARIAN.

I enjoyed that the episode on the documentary, "An Unknown Compelling Force," featured guests grounded in actual physics and mountaineering. Keep up the good work!
Apple Podcasts53rdarmUnited States6 months ago - Great discussion, great films...but intrusive ads
