About
'The Way We Were' connects the dots between the past and the present to reveal that cinema, popular culture, all forms of artistic expression, politics, and music are purveyors of ideas and impulses that reveal to us what we most need to learn about ourselves. The podcast revisits films, songs, watershed moments in art, culture, society and politics to show how a thread of continuity runs through them all and connects them inextricably to each other. Rich with nostalgia, trivia, lived anecdotes, and the larger meaning of events that are making news and impacting the zeitgeist, 'The Way We Were,' is about the pixels that make the big picture, exclusively on The Podcaster.
