It's our first companion podcast! We'll be aiming to release one of these to go with every movie to explore its themes, ideas and concepts.
This week, we're talking I, Tonya with the fantastic Sarah Marshall - a native of Tonya Harding's home city of Portland, Oregon and the author of the 2014 essay that redefined the skater's reputation.
Read Sarah's essay 'Remote Control' here: https://believermag.com/remote-control/
We discuss how Tonya was discriminated against by the ice skating community, her ongoing legacy, the triple axel's impact on her career and whether anyone can be trusted to remember things they lived through correctly.
Sarah also co-hosts the podcast 'You're Wrong About' which analyses commonly misremembered events in recent history. Listen to their show on Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan here: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/michael-hobbes/youre-wrong-about/e/62653599
There's also a bit of chat about what else you can be expecting from us in the next week or so. We'll speak to you soon to talk our next movie choice!
