Host Christopher Funderburg is joined by critic & author Martin Kessler for the first 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 "The Best and the Brightest," focuses on the episodes of First Person that explored the inscrutable nature of human intelligence.

This episode covers “Stairway to Heaven,” “The Smartest Man in the World,” “One in a Million Trillion,” and “Mr.Personality.”
