A Pod Too Far
The Sound of Music – with special guest Helen Lewis
Listen on
Episode notes
Watching the war movies that stiffened our upper lips, with authors Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon. This time: What do you mean, it’s not a war movie? It’s got Nazis in it. What more do you want? Our manly duo are tempted by political journalist Helen Lewis into watching the 1965 nuns, guns and arias extravaganza The Sound of Music. Will their emotionless exterior crack beneath Julie Andrews’ relentless sunniness, like “being hit over the head every day with a giant Valentine’s card”? Can you spot fake, painted Salzburg from the real thing? Is it really a war movie after all? The hills are alive with the sound of podcasts!
Written and presented by Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon. Audio production by Simon Williams. Art by Jim Parrett. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. War Movie Theatre is a Podmasters production
