In this episode of Pod, Actually, Will (an independent audio producer and documentary maker ) talks about the podcast that has shaped his thinking for two decades: On the Media.

Will calls it his “portable journalism school.” A longtime listener, he describes a deep admiration for host Brooke Gladstone, whose perceptive interviews and narrative framing continue to challenge and inspire him.

Will also talks about The Read, a very different kind of show that he finds funny, bracing, and culturally illuminating — and about his hesitation to dive into highly immersive narrative series that take over your life.

This episode is about loyalty, literacy, narrative framing, and what it means to feel part of a show’s ecosystem.
