All the President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute 106, I talk to writer, teacher, editor-at-large at Bright Wall/Dark Room, the wonderful Fran Hoepfner. Fran and I discuss journalists as conmen, her experience working for The Onion, taking Hal Holbrook's lead with inflammatory movie takes and having fun talking about the fall of Richard Nixon.About Fran HoepfnerFran Hoepfner is a writer from Chicago.
