C21Media (disclosure: currently edited by an old work colleague of mine, Ed Waller) has a nifty 30 minute documentary interviewing Michael Palin, Louis Theroux and Naomi Wolf about the art of documentary-making. I’d embed it if I could, and it doesn’t yet appear to have leapt into the site’s podcast feed at iTunes, so pop over to the site to watch it if you’re interested.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
