Dec 23, 2019
In this bonus episode, cohosts Bart and Chris revisit their
favorite documentaries of 2019, and then invite, each in turn, all
the podcast’s Season 7 guest hosts to chat about their favorites.
Those guests, in order of appearance, are: Sedika Mojadidi, Betsy McLane,
Anuradha Rana, Jennifer Proctor,
Sonali
Gulati and Patricia
Aufderheide. Given how many films Chris and Bart always watch,
they each listed ten films, while each guest host only listed five.
Enjoy, and see you in 2020!
