Episode 45: Deadline - U.S.A. with Charlie Pierce
When Charlie Pierce messages and asks to do a pod, you say yes. And that's exactly what happened. This week, one of the best and funniest political commentators in America drops by to talk about Deadline USA- the 1952 classic starring Humphrey Bogart as the editor of a newspaper trying to get out one last story before their lights are turned out for good. This is such a revealing film and Charlie is such a cool hang. I hope you like this pod.
