    285: Inside White With Fear: Emmy-Winning Producer Andrew Goldberg on Media and Politics

    26.03.2026 | 58 min.
    What role does fear play in shaping political narratives—and who benefits from it? In this episode, Emmy Award–winning investigative producer Andrew Goldberg joins the podcast to discuss his documentary White With Fear, a powerful examination of how racial anxiety has been strategically used in American political messaging over the past half-century. We explore how documentary storytelling can unpack complex national myths, why public television still matters in today’s media landscape, and what it takes to build projects supported by hundreds of institutions and partners worldwide.Along the way, Andrew reflects on:
    the research process behind White With Fear
    how political messaging around race evolved from the late 20th century to today
    why documentary filmmaking remains a critical civic tool
    the responsibility of public-interest storytelling
    the challenges of making investigative work accessible to broad audiences
    what global audiences misunderstand—and do understand—about American politics
    lessons from producing long-form journalism for PBS and major broadcast outlets
    This conversation looks beyond headlines to examine how narratives are constructed, circulated, and remembered—and why understanding them matters now more than ever.

    Ep 282: The Emotional Language of Film: Rachel Deutsch in Conversation

    24.02.2026 | 57 min.
    Show Notes

    Rachel Deutsch is a filmmaker whose work explores relationships, identity and memory through emotionally grounded storytelling. 

    After studying acting at New York University, she transitioned into directing and went on to train at the American Film Institute, where she developed a body of short films defined by careful performances and a strong sense of visual atmosphere.In this episode, Rachel discusses the evolution of her creative voice — from performance training and experimental theatre to narrative filmmaking — and reflects on how her background as an actor informs the way she directs.

    She describes her approach to working with performers, building scenes through emotional intention rather than rigid instruction, and collaborating closely with cinematographers to translate feeling into images. Rachel also reflects on the practical side of filmmaking — rehearsal methods, planning visual language, and developing projects independently — offering insight into the realities of building a career as a director.

    At the centre of the discussion is her AFI thesis project, a film rooted in personal experience and family history. The project draws on her mother’s confrontation with illness and civic life in Oklahoma, blending intimate storytelling with broader social themes.

    Topics Covered
    Transitioning from acting to directing
    Training at NYU and AFI
    Clowning and performance technique
    Directing actors
    Emotional realism in film
    Independent filmmaking
    Visual storytelling
    Collaboration with cinematographers
    Personal storytelling in cinema
    Developing a first feature film
