MTalks—This is not a bookclub • Sat 12 Nov 2016

For this, the first (not a) book club, i-D AU/NZ's Wendy Syfret was joined by Penny Modra of The Good Copy to look at the twelve-part episodic podcast series ‘Charles Manson’s Hollywood’ from the podcast ‘You Must Remember This’. The twelve-part series of podcast episodes “…explore the murders committed in the summer of 1969 by followers of Charles Manson, and the Hollywood music and movie scene surrounding the killings.” Wendy and Penny discussed why we’re so obsessed with Charles Mason, other cults, how the Manson murders both inspired and were inspired by popular culture, and drew comparisons between those trends and things they observe in our present day.
