Adam Curtis, Welcome to Your Fantasy, true crime podcasts

Documentary maker Adam Curtis on his newest work, Can鈥檛 Get You Out Of My Head. Plus Gimlet's Welcome to Your Fantasy, their latest true crime podcast.

Documentary-maker Adam Curtis crafts densely-constructed, visually-fragmented work so packed full of ideas and images that you can鈥檛 take your eyes off the screen for a moment. He pulls together disparate images and soundtrack to create a mesmerising hypothesis. He discusses his newest work, Can鈥檛 Get You Out Of My Head, which debuts on 麻豆官网首页入口 iPlayer this Thursday.

Welcome to Your Fantasy and The Missing are two new true crime podcasts swelling the ranks in a genre which continues to feature highly in both Spotify and Apple podcast charts. Crime writer and true podcast fan Denise Mina, Natalia Petrzela, presenter and co-producer of Welcome To Your Fantasy, and true crime podcast maker Hannah Maguire, co-host of RedHanded, discuss the continuing appeal of this format.

We鈥檝e another in our continuing series, Moments of Joy, showing how art can brighten dark times. Today it鈥檚 the turn of writer Max Liu, who celebrates a moment in Annie Baker鈥榮 drama The Flick, which defies theatrical conventions to great effect. It also reminds us of the unacknowledged value of small talk.

Presenter: John Wilson
Producer: Julian May
