As the award season rolls out, our podcast series “Shall we Check it out?” resumes!
In the newest episode, a member of
@iemmys ,
@ptakauske explores the critically acclaimed political thriller The Diplomat that, yet again, didn’t get any
@goldenglobes , but did receive the AFI (
@americanfilminstitute ) Television Program of the Year award for providing ‘a complex, rich, visual record of our modern world.’
To examine how accurate this record is, Aiste is joined by Nina Murray (
@houndart ) and Sean Murray, a husband‑and‑wife team who—very much like the central characters of the show—spent the better part of their careers in the U.S. diplomatic service.
What a privilege to host guests that bring equally deep expertise in both diplomacy and writing!
They discuss what the show gets right, where it stretches reality, and how both diplomacy and writing about it works in practice.
Your next binge is calling! Check it out!
