All the President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute 128, I join the Dame of Australian film and culture writing, the awesome Philippa Hawker. Philippa and I talk about the complex to and fro of interrogation happening across this film, the shared sentiments of Deep Throat and Omar from "The Wire," and finally look to cast a light on a fascinating "Watergate" level instant of Australian institutional espionage that continues to evade the appropriate level of attention.
