From 2012, we look over Hunter S. Thompson's influential 1970 essay, "The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved." We interview Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney (Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson ), historian Douglas Brinkley (who edited the Thompson anthology "The Proud Highway), Hal Wilner, who produced an album of the essay and Carmen, who actually attended the Derby.

In 2014, I interviewed Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Holland ("Europa Europa," "In Darkness") about her Czech miniseries "Burning Bush." (c) 2014 Just In Case It Matters.

An interview with musician and actor Nellie McKay about starring in "Downtown Express." Originally recorded in 2012. (C) 2012 Just In Case It Matters.
