You probably want to know who’s on the show this week. This is of course The Creative Nonfiction Podcast, the show where I talk to bad-ass writers, filmmakers, and producers about the art and craft of telling true stories whereby I unpack their artist journey and tap into their routines and habits about doing the work.
This week for Ep. 129 is Lisa D’Apolito, the mastermind behind the brilliant documentary “Love, Gilda” about the legendary comedian and comedic actor Gilda Radner.
We talk about Lisa’s early life growing in Greenwich Village, her transition from acting to filmmaking, and what really drew her to Gilda Radner.
