PODCASTS

 

HE SHOOTS, HE DRAWS

​

I interviewed with Dave Clayton, in what was the most detailed and candid conversation I’ve had about the documentary and book so far. What I thought would be a quick chat turned into a near three-hour conversation, though the final recording is slightly over 90 minutes.

​

And my interview with Dave was just PART ONE of an “epic two parter” on Richard Amsel. PART TWO was with my friend, artist PAUL SHIPPER, whose ongoing support of the project has meant the world to me.

​

• PART 1: Episode 142, December 14, 2020

  • Summary: This week's podcast is an epic two parter! In the first I speak to Adam McDaniel, an artist himself who is also deep into a project honouring and documenting the life of movie poster artist Richard Amsel who sadly died in 1985 at the young age of 37. Richard, alongside Drew Struzan and John Alvin, was one of the great movie poster artists of his generation most known for his iconic Raiders of the Lost Ark poster. Join us as we chat about the project and Richard's life.
     

• PART 2: Episode 143, December 14, 2020

  • Summary: As part 2 of the The Richard Amsel interview, I spoke with UK illustrator and previous guest of HSHD, Paul Shipper to discuss his experience and influence of Richard Amsel, helping Adam McDaniel with the documentary and also to see what Paul has been up to during lockdown.

 

THE INDYCAST

​

Over the years I've done a few interviews for "THE INDYCAST" podcast to discuss the Richard Amsel website and documentary. The podcast is run by Ed Dolista and Mitch Hallock, and is dedicated to all things Indiana Jones. Amsel's artwork for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK remains an important part of both his and the film's legacy, so whenever I go on the show, it brings out the fanboy in me.

​

• EPISODE 303, December 21, 2020
