Introduction

Matt
Welcome back to making Media. I'm joined as always by partner in crime, Dom Cook. And we are rejoined by Web Bar of High Bar Media. Web, I have been thoroughly enjoying the High Bar weekly letter up to 11, which Web has resurfacing various interviews from the past from some legends. So this week, we had design icon Ray Eames, we had John Hughes recently, Dr. Seuss, David Fincher, a name that you're going to hear come up in this particular episode. So one, thank you, Web, for doing them. And two, welcome back, Web.

Web
Thank you. It's my pleasure. Yes, I really love curating those interviews and bringing new life to them.

Matt
Yes, they are something that we all enjoy. I feel like people should be talking about these interviews more. So hopefully, we facilitate a little bit of that. We certainly had people talking about the last time we did one of these content roundups from the first half of 2023. My sources say that one of the biggest Founders episodes on James Cameron was a direct result of the commentary on this exact show with these exact people. So hopefully, we can create something similar on the back of this. One can only hope.
