All The President's Minutes - Minute 132 with Helen O'Hara: 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 132, I join author, co-host of the Empire podcast and editor at large of Empire Magazine, Helen O'Hara. Helen and I discuss the revisionist view of those "Easy Riders & Raging Bulls," how they don't make journalists like Ben Bradlee/Jason Robards anymore, and the gravitational disturbance caused by the line, "everyone is involved." by One Heat Minute Productions
