  • It Really Ties the Room Together

    Finally read the book many years after hearing about the Coen’s planned film adaptation. Turns out, I loved the book. It’s an existential classic. Then I went looking for a To the White Sea podcast and found this! A dream come true for fans of the Coen brothers: comprehensive in scope and full of insight into the brothers’ filmmaking process and the meaning of the films. Excellent work, guys! Laid back but erudite. Thought-provoking but fun. The perfect tribute! The Dude would surely approve.

  • Good program

    If you've gotten this far you might as well dive in. Jordan and Ray are great. If the premise of this podcast is remotely intriguing to you I really dont see why there should be any kind of holdup. Fire up this podcast!
