Welcome to the launch of our second season! After our One-Year Anniversary episode, Chris and Susan took a short break, and are ready to bring you another year of great behind-the-scenes conversations. To kick off year two we have a terrific chat with two of the documentary filmmakers responsible for the Emmy-nominated PBS doc “Anatomy of a Homicide: Life on the Street,” which chronicles the history of the show, while putting one of it’s most well-known, and Peabody award-winning episodes, “The Subway,” under the microscope. Please tune in to this fascinating discussion with writer/director/producer Ted Bogosian and filmmaker/cinematographer Richard Chisolm offering their insights on documentary film production and "Homicide."

Join Chris and Susan for this EPIC EPISODE, as we celebrate the First Anniversary of our podcast, “Homicide: Life on the Set.” We look back on the year, but also take the opportunity to interview each other, on our personal journeys that brought us into the film business and ultimately to our shared, although different, experiences of the beloved TV series, “Homicide: Life on the Street.” Sit back, grab a cup of coffee (you’ll need it!) and join Chris and me as we trip down Memory Lane! Enjoy!

Hi, all. It's Chris here. I hope you are well. Sadly, Susan and I are both unwell at the moment. We both have a nasty cold, which has prevented us from getting together to record our next show. We are both very sorry that we don't have a show for you this week.

We plan to release our next episode on Thursday 13th March, so please keep an eye out then.

Thank you for your support.

All the best

Chris & Susan

This month we have a really special episode Chris and I know you will enjoy—an engaging conversation with Homicide Focus-Puller/1st Camera Assistant Boots Shelton, who has probably been mentioned in every one of our preceding episodes. Big thanks to Boots for his deep dive into the technical side of camera assisting and the unique skills the job requires. Listen, learn and be entertained!
