Martin Bandyke Under Covers for January 2022: Martin interviews Eddie Muller, author of Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir (Revised and Expanded Edition).
The new edition of Eddie Muller's Dark City (first published in 1998) is a film noir lover's bible, taking readers on a tour of the urban landscape of the grim and gritty genre in a definitive, highly illustrated volume.
Dark City expands with new chapters and a fresh collection of restored photos that illustrate the mythic landscape of the imagination. It's a place where the men and women who created film noir often find themselves dangling from the same sinister heights as the silver-screen avatars to whom they gave life. Eddie Muller, host of Turner Classic Movies' Noir Alley, takes readers on a spellbinding trip through treacherous terrain: Hollywood in the post-World War II years, where art, politics, scandal, style -- and brilliant craftsmanship -- produced a new approach to moviemaking, and a new type of cultural mythology.
Martin’s interview with Eddie Muller was recorded on November 18, 2021.

Welcome to The Gayest Generation, where we hear LGBTQ older adults speak for themselves.

Their stories make noise where there is silence and that silence has lived for far too long. It is time we let their voices fill the room.
In this episode, we speak with Kansas State Congresswoman Stephanie Byers. We learn about what it’s like to be one of first openly transgender people elected to a State Legislature, growing up as a member of the Chickasaw Nation, and what it means to live life authentically.
