When director, actor, critic and historian Peter Bogdanovich passed away in 2022, he was working on One Handshake Away - a podcast interviewing some of the biggest film directors working today. His ex-wife Louise Stratten stepped in to serve as narrator and co-host, with three-time Academy Award-winning director Guillermo del Toro filling in as host for the final three episodes. It's new today from Audacy and Stak.

Lowlines is a new, independent, podcast launching today. After food entrepreneur Petra Barran left the grind of the business hustle, she bought a sound recorder and set off without an itinerary to record a podcast with no script, no studio and no production team. The resulting bank of tape was raw, real and revealing about what it means to connect to the ground beneath our feet.
