WTF with Marc Maron Podcast

Episode 1081 - Alex Gibney

Academy Award-winning documentarian Alex Gibney is always trying to understand why things are the way they are. He’s done so with Enron, Scientology, the War on Terror, Donald Trump and other topics where he often finds people believing that the ends justify the means. That’s true of his new documentary Citizen K about Russian oligarchs and Vladimir Putin. Alex also talks with Marc about his path to becoming a filmmaker and how the Blues opened him up to the possibilities of the documentary medium. This episode is sponsored by <a href="http://squarespace.com/wtf" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Squarespace</a> and <a href="http://SimpliSafe.com/wtf">SimpliSafe</a>.
