#Special Episode | Interview with the podcasters Susanne Braun, Yugen Yah and Will DiGravio


This is a special edition accompanying a two-part blog post of mine that will be published at the Open Media Studies Blog a few days after the release of this episode. The article is on the topic of science podcasts in media and film studies respectively on podcasts as an Open Science instrument. As part of this article, I thought it would be nice to link to a podcast episode where podcasters can have their say. 


In this special episode, you will first hear an interview with Susanne Braun and Yugen Yah (01:55-24:57). They produce the film podcast Indifilmtalk


Afterwards, you will listen to an interview with Will DiGravio. He is the host of The Video Essay Podcast (24:57-46:18).




Aus der Berliner Theaterwissenschaft entsprungen, berät und leitet Susanne Braun als Theater- und Medienpädagogin künstlerische Projekte in der Kinder-, Jugend- und Erwachsenenbildung. Seit Folge 22 diskutiert sie regelmäßig zusammen mit Yugen Yah mit Gästen aus der Filmlandschaft im Indiefilmtalk-Podcast. Mit ihrer sympathisch bestimmten Stimme führt sie durch filmische Abende, Panel und Podiumsdikussionen.

Yugen Yah ist Filmschaffender aus Berlin und immer auf der Suche nach spannenden Geschichten, die erzählt werden wollen. Neben seiner Arbeit möchte er mit dem Talk- und Podcastformat Indiefilmtalk die Filmszene ein wenig mehr zusammenrücken lassen, damit man auch abseits vom Set und Produktionsstress mitbekommen kann, was uns in der Filmszene aktuell so rumtreibt.

Will DiGravio is a writer, podcaster, and audiovisual essayist. He currently hosts The Video Essay Podcast, a show featuring interviews with leading practitioners of the form. He also writes the weekly newsletter, "Notes on Videographic Criticism." In 2020, he earned an M.Phil. in the Centre for Film & Screen at the University of Cambridge, and in 2019 a B.A. from Middlebury College. His personal website is www.willdigravio.com
