Apologies to all our faithful listeners! It's that time of year where tour guiding clashes with podcasting, but we are back on track and ready to rock out your summer with the intriguing twists of American history and culture.
Today's (a tiny bit late May) episode takes a deep dive into the quintessential American classic, Citizen Kane, brought to the big screen by the 24 year old wonder boy, Orson Wells. Join the Rebeccas as the help explain why this is often considered *the best* American film ever made, its connection to William Randolph Hearst, and why it takes a generation or two for the film to be fully appreciated by American audiences.
