Episode 16: “City So Real”’s Ears, Eyes and Editor: A Chat With Zak Piper, Kevin Shaw and David E. Simpson

While a good documentary can leave viewers fascinated by its subject, creating “City So Real” has had the same effect on its production team. Host Stacey Wilson Hunt explores the making of National Geographic’s new five-part documentary series about modern-day Chicago with producer and sound recordist Zak Piper, cinematographer Kevin Shaw, and editor David E. Simpson.  The result is one of the most critically acclaimed docuseries of 2020.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
