    NYC still THE place for personal brand development, folks “I still feel the excitement of the city and am really working on building my own personal brand. New York has helped with that.”

    Mcneil complains a lot about editors but, well.. with an editor I am sure that medium thing would be a TWO part series.

    Kenneth Tynan and Dwight Macdonald are my two best pandemic friends, we have spent months together. I have a project but its a bit amorphous, lots of audio, but form still unclear... thank god I have my own podcast.

    I continues in part three. I am pretty sure Macdonald saw this, plus the whole thing is so fun to watch.

    In 1958 Goldwyn was one of the guests in Edward Murrow's group Zoom call TV show "Small World" with Vivien Leigh, and Kenneth Tynan.

    MoMa screened a 24 film "Goldwyn productions" program in 1956. But this is when Macdonald was in London, working at Encounter. I think he got the idea for this Midcult definition somewhere else.

    In Masscult/Midcult Dwight Macdonald tries again & again to define "Midcult" This one is my fav: Midcult is the Museum of Modern Art’s film department paying tribute to Samuel Goldwyn because his movies are alleged to be (slightly) better than those of other Hollywood producers

    what a great way to learn about the new tv show as well

    It was great to be interviewed as part of this podcast. I got the chance to talk about my interactions with Octavia Butler, 😊.
