Jay Cheel » 09.12.10 »It’s my pleasure to present to you the very first episode of The Documentary Podcast! Myself (Jay Cheel) and my co-host Joshua Ligairi aim to bring you some solid, informative discussion on the latest in documentary news, reviews, trailers and DVD/Blu Ray releases on what we hope will be a regular basis (aiming for bi-weekly at the moment). Best of all, we plan on having regular guest contributors including some of your favourite bloggers and documentary filmmakers!
For our premiere episode we’re thrilled to be joined by Jeff Feuerzeig, director of one my favourite docs of the decade, The Devil and Daniel Johnston. We discuss some docs we’ve been watching, highlight some of our top pics at TIFF and get into some trailers. Finally, we end the show off with a discussion with Jeff about working with Daniel Johnston and some of the challenges he faced when making his film.
This being our first episode, we’re still in the process of working through the format and sorting out any technical issues we might face so any feedback would be greatly appreciated! As the shows go on, we will begin to smooth everything out and settle comfortably into what will hopefully be an entertaining and insightful podcast for documentary lovers! Enjoy!
