No End In Sight
British journalist John Cantlie has been a prisoner of ISIS for more than four years. Throughout his captivity, he’s been forced to act as a sort of warped foreign correspondent, extolling the virtues of the group in propaganda videos. With every appearance, he looks weaker and gaunter. In this special hour, we consider how Cantlie’s plight is a window into the challenges of reporting on Syria, and why the world’s tangled policy on hostages means that some live to tell the tale, and others don’t.

Episode 3.2 – Stacy Kranitz | The LPV Show
Last October Stacy Kranitz was making the rounds in New York, so I jumped at the chance to have her swing by Bushwick to talk about her photography and few photobooks I had laying around that we’d yet to discuss. I knew my friend, and season 2.19 guest, Paul Kwiatkowskiadmired her work, so I tossed out the idea of having him co-host, which he thankfully thought was a good idea. It definitely created an interesting dynamic for a conversation, since they both work from a similar impulse in many regards.
Episode 3.1 – Hin Chua | The LPV Show
Tom and I were enjoying our break when I received an email from Hin Chua letting me know he was going to visit New York. We exchanged a few emails and talked about meeting up, but I figured it was a good opportunity to record a show since I’ve always enjoyed his photography and taste in photobooks.
A Small Voice Podcast — 015 – Harry Borden (pt.1)
It was a real pleasure to talk to Harry. He is an absolute gentleman and the reason this is a two-parter is that we chatted for well over two hours and I think we could’ve gone on all day. When I came to listen to the interview, I realised I couldn’t possibly edit it down to a listener-friendly hour or so, because I wanted to use nearly all of it. So, rather than put out one stupidly long episode, I thought I would run it over two weeks, and that’s what I’m doing.
