Website Apple Spotify
You Must Remember This is a storytelling podcast exploring the secret and/or forgotten histories of Hollywood's first century. It's the brainchild and passion project of Karina Longworth (founder of Cinematical.com, former film critic for LA Weekly), who writes, narrates, records and edits each episode. It is a heavily-researched work of creative nonfiction: navigating through conflicting reports, mythology, and institutionalized spin, Karina tries to sort out what really happened behind the films, stars and scandals of the 20th century.MORE Host Karina Longworth

Episodes will include conversations with the people who are teaching me, challenging me, confusing me, or maybe even ticking me off a little...MORE Host Brené Brown
