  • The Exile Of Charlie Chaplin

    The Exile Of Charlie Chaplin
    Nov 22 2024
    Author Scott Eyman explains how silent film actor Charlie Chaplin was smeared in the press, scandalized for his affairs with young women, condemned for his alleged communist ties and banned from returning to the U.S. "At one time or another he was the target of the entire security apparatus of the United States of America," Eyman says. His book is Charlie Chaplin vs. America.

    Also, Justin Chang reviews two highly-anticipated blockbusters, Wicked and Gladiator II.

    'Parks And Rec'& 'Good Place' Creator Michael Schur On His New Show
    Nov 21 2024
    Michael Schur wrote for the The Office, and created The Good Place, and co-created Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. His new show for Netflix, A Man on the Inside, features Ted Danson as a widowed retiree who goes undercover in a retirement community. He spoke with Terry Gross about the series, making fun of NPR (lovingly) on Parks, and being a life-long rule-follower.

    Also, our TV critic David Bianculli reviews the new series and says it's the sweetest show since Ted Lasso.

This is a fantastic podcast

Excellent episode. There were many glitches during the playback involving jumps and skipping time etc. so it was difficult at times to follow the interview. Very frustrating and I hope Audible fixes their playback issues.
