Karina Longworth, creator of the podcast You Must Remember This, has a talent for reviving Hollywood history elements that resonate with contemporary culture. Her series often anticipates cultural moments, notably with episodes on Charles Manson's Hollywood and Dead Blondes. Longworth's latest series, The Old Man Is Still Alive, explores the later, often overlooked works of Hollywood legends like Alfred Hitchcock and Billy Wilder, challenging the notion of obsolescence. Her commitment to authenticity in storytelling means she resists trends, choosing topics born from genuine interest and personal insight, as exemplified by her process of idea generation.
Through the alchemy of her podcast, she makes those pockets and apocrypha in the cultural memory bank feel vital once more.

I really cannot make choices based on what other people are going to be interested in.
the perma-threat of obsolescence isn't just for the Norma Desmonds rattling around their Hollywood mansions.
