A true treasure trove

NitrateVille has now been in operation long enough for me to say that I’ve been visiting since I was a kid, and the wonderful people there (Mike included!) helped foster my voracious appetite for classic film. Now, as an adult pursuing the very kind of work NitrateVille Radio is all about, I’m pleased to say that my appetite remains throughly whetted. The variety of fascinating folks in the film world Mike interviews is staggering, and I love never knowing what corner of the community he’ll visit next. It’s extremely edifying to know that there is so much happening in the world of vintage film scholarship, exhibition, preservation, and more, and it’s even better that NitrateVille Radio offers a way to keep your finger on the pulse and a great time doing it!

Excellent Podcast for Vintage Film and Preservation

For excellent discussion on new goings on with old film, this podcast can't be beat! Every episode features the movers and shakers who bring early talkie and silent movies back to life preserved for new audiences to watch and adore. Highly recommend!!
