PODCASTS LISTEN BACK AT YOUR LEISURE

Stoneface Films Podcast www.sentinelaudio.com /stoneface-films-podcast Created by Rob O’Sullivan, with the guys behind Stoneface Films — a creative collaboration of dynamic filmmakers who have produced a range of work including short films and music videos — this is a weekly round-table discussion, often steered and prompted by audience input via Twitter, and ranging very far and wide indeed. Journalist Emer Sugrue pops in for the regular Everybody’s Stupid But Me slot, where she murders a few sacred cows, including presenting arguments for why the Harry Potter films are no good. Smart, lively, original. Making Oprah www.npr.org/podcasts/500692140/making-oprah Hard to imagine a time when Oprah had to spell out her name, or indeed give a surname, but this goes right back to the beginning of one of the most stellar careers ever, the woman who changed the face of daytime TV. This three-parter, from NPR, has plenty of contributions from Oprah herself, as well as people who worked with her. Asked about her very first show, Oprah says: “I had no fear. I knew I was stepping into destiny.” How right she was.
