In their first (!) episode, John and Danielle start by laying out the motivations behind this podcast before diving into a lively discussion of the pilot episode of The Americans. Come for their careful consideration of nationalism, lies, and spycraft; stay for the segments on Soviet aesthetics, needle drops, and the award for ‘Minor Character of the Week’.
Join Danielle and John as they use their analytical skills to deep dive into The Americans this season on Not Quite Great Books: A TV Podcast.
