I’m still trying to absorb it. It felt so odd, intrusive, illusionary to see this (beautiful, though wrongly and overly beautified in many ways) image of these people — I’ve spent so many hours considering them, thinking of them, imagining, evoking.
Read MoreYou Must Remember This started as a passion project in April 2014. “I heard what it would sound like, and I was not really happy with my professional situation at the time. And so, I just thought “I can hear what this podcast sounds like in my head. Why don't I try to make it?" So, I did.”
