Massive 4-part podcast on "Citizen Kane", done by Steve Morris and John Roche of Cine-files, sometime in the last couple of years. It must have been done before March of 2017, because they mention that they don't think "The Other Side of the Wind" will ever be seen. Repetitive at times, but entertaining because these two guys are good talkers, enthusiastic and well-informed and they come up with some novel insights. The total length of the discussion is six-and-a-half hours!
1. 47-minute discussion of Orson Welles in general:

From his far from humble beginnings through his triumphs on radio and Broadway to the vagabond artist he became, Orson Welles, always makes for good stories, even if you're not quite sure you can believe them.
