In the latest episode, Neil talks at length to critic, editor and podcaster Nicolas Rapold about his podcast The Last Thing I Saw, as well as podcasting in general, the benefits of direct-to-subscriber content via Substack and, a favourite topic of Neil and Dario's, film culture in 2021 in general.
Elsewhere, Neil and Dario ponder ideas around conversation and podcasting, inclusivity and good faith and share war stories of near-middle-age ailments based around tennis and a visit to the barber.
The Last Thing I Saw is available wherever you get your pods, but the best way to learn more about it, and Nicolas's work, is to subscribe to his Substack here.
Thanks to Nicolas for taking time out to talk to Neil for the podcast.
