Host Christopher Funderburg is joined by critic & author Martin Kessler for the second of four episodes covering Errol Morris’ stunningly brilliant documentary television show, First Person.

Filmed on Morris’ notorious documentary-interrogation device, The Interrotron, and touching on all his favorite obsessions, First Person brought Morris’ ground-breaking documentary style to the small screen. This podcast episode, titled “Wastebasket Taxon,” focuses on the episodes of First Person that looked at one of his favorite subjects: weird science.

This episodes covers “Eyeball to Eyeball,” “I Dismember Mama,” “Harvesting Me,” and “Smiling in a Jar.”
