Welp. After a decisive electoral outcome, we desperately need healing and renewed belief in the possibility of our country. And there is only one man we could turn to, the co-host of the incredible podcasts Bat & Spider, Paperkeg, and Interview with a Podcast Vampire, dale_a. We chose to cover the incredible tale of a creator who put everything on the line, inspired the ordinary Americans around him to imagine being part of something bigger than themselves, and against all odds refused to give up on his dream to create the great American Movie.
