    The Edit Podcast, I think you should do an episode with the editors from HBOs Westworld and go through narrative and the non linear storytelling and the choices decisions as to why it was cut like that. Not a hot topic but interesting, similar to your The Bear Video.

    Great episode. Do you know how and where Dodford's research team locates and acquires the source material used in his videos? I'm assuming it's like any other documentary researcher, who spend weeks/months searching all over the web and downloads the clips with or without permission using legal and semi-legal website download browser extensions?

    This is not clever. He simply has a ton of footage to use when you talk about actors in lots of movies and television and the news. It's an age-old technique. Now try it on a subject with very little to no original footage.
