Boomer alert! Tonight's conversation is with my very own real-life godfather: Robert Tomkin. From the geographical politics following World War I, to the sociocultural politics following World War II, our talk had it all. It's a classy chat, a must-listen for Orson Welles fans, and a great chance to hear the two of us insult each other in between rich dissections of the American ego.

Bonsoir a tous! Tonight the lovely Marion plays favorites, and in the process we cover everything from the delights of Madrid to the diligence of Kubrick to the pros and cons of so-called Slow Cinema. Join in!

And of course, if you have a moment, do please rate, review, subscribe and share - we're available wherever you get your podcasts! :)

Tune in tonight with the always-lovely Yussef, an all-around stand-up guy and dedicated Stevie Wonder enthusiast. Our chat roamed all over the map folks, from early Stevie to Egyptian protest music, Frank Capra, and the unique abilities of the documentary. It's Playing Favorites.

Tonight's extremely calm guest brought it all. Expect mobsters, Marty, a frank chat on David Byrne, and a potato-based intermission. So please, sit back, relax, and enjoy a conversation with this episode's on-air editor, Ruby Sullivan. It's Playing Favorites.

Rosebud, record collections, and concerts by the sea are debated and discussed tonight, as we welcome Michael "Mikey Z" Zwiauer - all the way from Austria - as our latest gracious guest. It's Playing Favorites.

P.S. The episode's not quite over 'til it's over... 

Our very first episode welcomes the delightful Domi Ucar to play favorites. From sun-soaked islands to polar bears to Leonardo DiCaprio's effect on the weather, our conversation had it all. 

A refreshingly bubbly way to kick things off. Enjoy!

Welcome to the show. Brand new episodes, getting started shortly. Movies, music, punchlines, and travelogues, all in one place. A new Black Bat venture for these interaction-strapped times. Join and enjoy!
