between right and wrong. >> exactly. always, if someone has gone through the motions and fantasize for long enough, they have worked out all the little problems. is there an insanity defense there? probably not. charlie: what questions would you be asking if you are in las vegas? if the characters you guys play were in las vegas? you cannot talk to him. he shot himself. >> nobody lives to be in their 60's and suddenly wakes up one day and decide to commit mass murder without any kind of warning signs. without any previous criminal behavior of any kind. i would be trying to figure out what were the things that led him to that point. charlie: which brings me to this subject.
6:18 pm
approach -- i do not want to say empathy -- but what is the approach that make you say what is this guy doing from?is he coming a young agent believes there is a better way to figure this out. : i think on the show we are trying to see if we can fake empathy in order to understand the impossible to understand i think along the way we glean information and the show takes place in the late 70's when all of this information and the idea of doing this was very new and they acquire systems of labeling and compartmentalizing the different kinds of killers. ultimately, part of the reason people are so fascinated with serial killers endlessly is because you can ask as many questions as you want to and i don't know we will ever get an answer. charlie: nor do you know if they
6:19 pm
even know. >> writes. charlie: you, sir. what is it about you and -- [laughter] >> nobody sent me the remake of breakfast at tiffany's. charlie: they didn't want you to do that over? >> i don't know. i can only fall back on my -- i cannot apologize enough. charlie: we can fall back on things you have done before and say something there -- and say there is something within you and ask your support the separation come from -- where from.berration come >> when>> we were doing the rounds at quantico in trying to indoctrinate ourselves and look at what they had to offer, you round the corner under the library and there is a life-size blacks or fiberglass rendering hannibal lecter. seven,ly, john doe from

those movies came out around the same time and they were both serial in the mold of killer is why the coyote super genius. as i was talking to the woman who was giving us a tour, she was asking if this show would be like silence of the lambs. to takeid, no, i want that back and not talk about the experts.pera to me, these are very sad. under who have grown up aransas circumstances. overstate how much empathy or sympathy we should have for them. it is simply a fact. we have seen so much in this literary conceit and there is a fine line that separates the
6:21 pm
hunters from the hunted. i really thought it was time to take that back and make it the reason we are fascinated with them is because we are nothing like them. they are unfathomable. we literally cannot see -- charlie: do they share any common -- david: of course. there is a lots of commonality. the show is a series of conversations. charlie: somebody bought a book and is based on a book written by former fbi -- david: exactly. the king of the profilers from the fbi. charlie: tell me about the dynamic of the two characters. that is part of the dynamic. david: there are the guys were the characters are based on. once we got into trying to with whoe mythology
6:22 pm
was the first person to say x, it got extremely complicated. andpenn hall, the creator the head writer of the show, he decided i need to be able to divide this legwork as i needed in order to be able to dramatize it. because we will never be able to review he was the one who said i will call this guy this and this other guy this. then i am going to make a crazy quilt of whatever sort of behavioral impetus i need. charlie: when he comes talking about these ideas, your character is what? you look at it with skepticism or kind of convincing? holt: when we meet the character she is in a failing marriage and has an adopted son and that has created a lot of problems in his marriage.
6:23 pm
he is not someone interested in the bureaucracy at quantico or the politics and the brown nosing that he would need to do in order to get a promotion. he teaches road school. he travels around the country and he teaches the latest fbi investigative techniques to local cops. away.ense, he is running i think of them is kind of floundering. he has forgotten why it was important that he be an fbi agent. holden, jonawhen than's character comes into my and, is his youth intelligence revitalize the innocence and make me remember what it was that i left. -- l oved. charlie: what is it that you have other venues and enthusiasm? [laughter] idea?a new
6:24 pm
what has made you different? jonathan: one of the things that is interesting about the show is when you meet holden in the first episode, he is a little lost. the very first scene in the show he is in a hostage negotiation situation and a guy shoots himself in the face and he goes to the fbi and he says i did everything by the book and somebody died and i am really confused and perhaps we are going about this in the wrong way. i think it is symbolic. bader was running the happens all the early 70's and there was a sort of black and white vision of what crime was. go get the bad guys and we succeeded. the error of the 70's was coming into the fbi to little bit and holding meet this girl who is meetsg -- and holden
6:25 pm
this girl who is getting her phd and studying sociology and he gets his mind blown. he gets a sense of meaning on how to work in the fbi. he gets stuck with this guy teaching behavioral science out of school all over the country. through a strange set of circumstances he finds himself sitting across the room from ed kemper, who we now know is a serial killer. charlie: here is the scene. >> is more of a research thing. >> research? >> a series of interviews. chatting with individuals, like yourself. >> we're just talking. i don't get to go someplace, do a bunch of tests? lden: no tests. just right here. >> why? holden: i believe it could be
6:26 pm
useful. >> talking about what? den: i don't know. your behavior i guess. is.ou want to, that we do not have to talk about anything at all if you do not want to. >> why are you so tense? you are tense. right now. holden: know, i am not tense. [laughter] charlie: hold that thought. take a look at this. lt's character talking to jonathan about the same inquiry. here it is. >> he's telling you what he guessed you want to hear. >> why would you want to hear that? >> because you are you. you told him about your university education, girlfriend, and character and he tailored its. -- it.
6:27 pm
pyd you feel the need to tell him about your girlfriend? >> to get him talking. don't encourage him. do not give him anything. he is your subject. the objective. >> i have to trust my instinct on this. >> there is that word again. suddenly you have all of these instant. it has been a -- instincts. >> it has been a process. >> i need you to understand that whatever you think, there is a distinct possibility that he is manipulating you. ♪ charlie: david-- charlie: ok, so let us talk about this scene. how many takes? we did two or three. charlie: how many did you do? jonathan: betsy was a perfect
6:28 pm
-- that scene was a perfect example of an kemper because we did it over multiple days. there is a lot of comedy built into that or a potential for a lot of comedy built into this ente-eyed, innocent ag across the table from this giant who is so dangerous. we're were doing it over and over again in that line -- and that line where i say -- where ou so tense are y and i am not tense. david says, what if you do nothing. to me it changed the whole energy of that moment. it created something more realistic, it's a quake that actor -- it took away the
6:29 pm
actor thing i was trying to do. that is one of the millions of reasons why he is david but that is one of them. firsti was in david's movie alien ii and i also have a iii and i all -- iii and i also have a role in fight club. charlie: you said he felt like you graduated in a way. holt: that is absolutely correct. i said this before in interviews. for me to have a privilege of having to play a character -- one of the wonderful things about television is you get to explore a character in much greater detail than you would in movie or three-our play. you have more real estate and can find yourself in many different circumstances. david: that is a really
6:30 pm
important thing because we had cast jonathan and it was incredibly important to me that , don't have the wet blanket that i don't have the guy who is i am notg -- interested in this. i needed to have an actor who could be jonathan 20 years --er, who could be the guy it has taken it out of him. in order to do that we needed an actor who has enormous sensitivity. working with holt as many times as i have, i kept wishing i had a part for him that had more. that had string theory attached to other ideas. to be able to offer some any something -- somebody something where you can say we can be
6:31 pm
doing this five years from now, are you ready to date? letter-- to dig? charlie: did you see this as a television series rather than a film? david: yes. you can ask a lot of an audience, but two hours and 45 minutes with no closure. parking,ysitter, find wait in line, since and have people with their phones in your peripheral vision, and concentrate for two hours and 45 minutes is asking a lot. this ishink conversations. charlie: we love conversations, don't we? david: of course. i am eternally -- it is very difficult when you are an executive producer. you have to find other directors because you cannot direct the whole thing. 10 hours is too much.
6:32 pm
in finding the other directors that we found, there are certain people where you give them an 11 page scene that takes place at a table not unlike this and say there is this movement and the first two pages and night event , theyen it moves over say, well can someone crash something? can someone jump through a window? it is terrifying. the guys we found some from documentaries and another one as a writer who had worked on show i made a film about a hijacking that some of the most riveting scenes in it that were just people talking into a speakerphone. charlie: when i created this program, i said our conceit is we believed that people of conversation and that they will want to see it if it is real, engaging, passionate.
6:33 pm
and you don't need a fancy set, you don't need anything. you just need to people or more that are engaged by ideas. david: there are acts and movements and the way that people move their agenda and try to understand and look for clarification. that stuff can be as interesting as people running through the streets showing their badges. charlie: did you want him because he was so great in king george, iii? david: i haven't seen that. when we weren casting the social network. he came in and he was amazing and riveting. i love the one thing jonathan doesn't have access to that i have to have if he has to have a --a little and
6:34 pm
you cannot even fake it. charlie: great to see you again. congratulations. ♪ is this a phone?

-- intimate form of media. compelling ande the conversation covers a complete drum kits, the hands of a clock disappear and i feel like i have enjoyed a secondhand experience." alex bloomberg is the cofounder and ceo of gimlet media. polishing minutes vice president of on-demand content. labtor and cohost of radio and more perfect. i am pleased to have them all. let me begin with this. explain to me the rise of podcasts.how did this thing come into the being? wasn't filling a need -- was it need or creating a
6:38 pm
need? i am a public radio refugee and i still live in the world of public radio. for me it feels like we're making a show for 10 years and youenly the podcast app, could carry on the phone, and it blew up. it was baked into smartphones and i think that really launched things. now we have companies that are making it feels like the world is expanding. charlie: everybody i know was thinking about it. easy barrier for entry but it is still accessible for people in the same way that blogging was 10 years ago. it is a way for people to get right at you, right in your ear, you.ng between the two of it is what they say it is very gives yound it
6:39 pm
a close touch point. i think that has contributed a bit. charlie: blitz of the most docessful ones have -- what the most successful ones have? >> they have intimacy and people you want to hang out with. people you want in your ear or your head. there is no closer you can be to someone. i have been in podcasting since 2005 shortly after it started. we found when you put together people doesn't prevent people who the audience vote connected with, they felt like they were sitting at a table with them. they were having dinner, going out for drinks, listening to their friends talk about something. they responded in that way as though they joined the club or went to a dinner party. charlie: it makes me think i've been doing a podcast always 25 years. [laughter] it is a podcast. >> i think there are a couple reasons people listen. one is the companionship where they are your friends. also people like to be told a
6:40 pm
story. a lot of the best podcasts are the one reason down and need a transformation. i think a big thing is people learn things. a lot of the best ones combine all three. they like you guys, they hang out with you, they're learning stuff, and being told a story. i make a show called radio lab and a spinoff called more perfect. alex started on this american life a million years ago and for me that was the model. the idea is to tell these really gripping, personal stories that we do to some moments of wonder or where you can think about the world differently and you are
6:41 pm
changed. every story to have that kind of transformation moments and that is what we try to do. radio lab does it about all kinds of things. . more perfect deals with the supreme court. what is the conflict and what is this country where these arguments come in front of a court is because we are? charlie: this been an opportunity for women? speaking as the woman, i can say yes. absolutely. and has been incredible. there was research that couple years ago about how few women there were hosting podcast on the top itunes tarts. i think it was 20% in 2013. it has been dominated by men like many things. the number has gone up slightly to about 33%. at wnyc it is a big part of our: mission to get women's voices out there.
6:42 pm
i think podcasting can be an agent for change. in that sense, it feels like a feminist medium. i think it is. because it is a platform to people you had jessica williams on your recently. her podcast is something we developed and that is our show. it is a platform for women, women of color, people who would otherwise not get the millions and millions of people listening to them that they wouldn't without the podcast. we get people writing in all the time. for one thing, they get people saying they want to join wnyc. never also say i have heard myself represented before. it is very powerful and we have a women's podcasting festival coming up in a couple weeks and we get women from all over the world to come in learn from each other and develop skills and be mentored.
6:43 pm
is it becoming remunerative? >> it is. paula: you can make billions. join us. >> i will if you are making billions. [laughter] >> part of our company is to sell at, and podcasts at the are among the highest cpm, that means cost per thousand listeners, of any. sometimes there are two times or three times higher than super bowl ad rates. the audience is much smaller than the super bowl, but the numbers themselves per listener are higher. and it is because the intimate.g is very often the hosts are the want to talk about the products. charlie: it gives credibility to the project. -- product. there a lot of podcasts,
6:44 pm
is a clear line when it isn't bad but a lot of times the hosts are delivering the ad. also take ae will story-based approach to the ad. it is the way it humanizing brands. they're very effective. charlie: what changes are growthy now that it has and traction with the american public? how is it changing and evolving and -- offering more voices? >> i think we're at the beginning of the next golden age audio. if you think about audio and the old days before television, people sat around their radios. if you think about is how talent i came out of the radio, you have orson welles, lucille ball, everybody. tv when a long and radio frozen
6:45 pm
in place. haveith on-demand, you this flourish that is happening. you talked about fiction. i think fiction will be huge. i think you guys launched some fiction shows. we watched a show called homecoming that has done very well. paula: a lot of people multitask so that is another reason why it is great. >> you don't need your eyes. that is the great advantages of audio. >> it is one of the thing to do on your phone while is in your pocket. charlie: does it take an audience away from other mediu ms? >> radio lab is a show in a podcast. i think we're mostly a podcast --
6:46 pm
charlie: so you think they can coexist? >> i think so. we live to lives very literally. radio and ahe podcast is very different. paula: we see a lot of sunday night listening and that is a very big tv nights. i still think we are competing with tv for people's free time time. -- >> i think of the existing in a separate spare. -- sparetime. -- sphere. there is the listening time when you are working out or on the subway and their is a time where you can look at a screen. podcasting is its own separate enclaves. when people get
6:47 pm
gripped by a podcast it could take over and replace some of the other things they were doing. certainly reading. certainly reading. book publishers, i don't know. beware. i feel you are saying. he will not be watching to be well you are commuting but you will be making decisions about spending leisure time. ranking?is there a >> i think that is being disputed. [laughter] everyone seems to be measuring it differently. for a while we would check the then that didd not make any sense anymore because you cannot quite tell why number one is number one. >> it is not stand volume. >> there is an algorithm. >> certainly, i put this american life. andnd their spinoff serial s-town are all three very large. isradio lab and then npr
6:48 pm
probably the most in terms of sheer region. with have that show malcolm gladwell. there are essentially two kinds of podcast. podcasting time shifted and original podcasting. you do one of each. i think when people are getting used to having things on demand, and very few people who have a dvr want to go back and watch on the network schedule, i think when podcasts get more popular people will get used to timeshifting and that could spell some trouble for radio. it might be a generational thing . it is too fun to figure on schedule. >> with the state of national
6:49 pm
politics what it is, you kind of cannot compete with what is happening in the day's events. i still excessively turn on the news because who knows what crazy thing will be on the news that the? -- day? charlie: on television or radio? on television. that feels faster. >> people who have tv shows like you and everybody knows them, podcasting is this medium in which they could really play in a way that they cannot and other , more traditional media. charlie: claiming fun -- play meanign fun? flex different creative muscles, talk to the people there interested in, maybe they are actors and want to start having conversations with people and a lot of people who know them to hear them in a different way and the people who do not
6:50 pm
know them to kind of get to know them. it is part of the appeal of why you are seeing people do this. thelie: this is a clip from giant pool of money from this american life. audio only, boys and girls. >> round figures. >> lou barletta $540,000 from the bank and they did not check your income. >> no income verification loan. they did not call me up and say how much money. they do not do that. it is almost like you have a guy in the street and say lends me -- lend me $540,000. it seems like it if i casually and though there are a lot of papers that get filled out and flies all over with faxes and emails. essentially, that is the process. ♪ would you have loaned you
6:51 pm
the money? >> i would not have loaned me the money and no one i know oaned me the money. a person with bad credit. i remember everything about exactly where i was when i have that interview. we're at a foreclosure up as were people were trying to figure out what was happening with their houses in the financial crisis. click backstory, that was a big hour-long episode of this american life. adam davidson, a reporter for npr. we teamed up to do this big finance. on mortgage
6:52 pm
we were trying to explain what was going on with the financial crisis. we had no idea how to do it and nothing like that had ever been tried at this american life. for inspiration, we looked to a show called radio lab, launched by jad and robert. they have this two cohosts set up where it was really effective because they were talking about these really complicated things. one person would be like what are you saying and the other person would be like i am saying this and we ripped it off and made a ton of money. and thank you. >> one of the things interesting about listening to that is that came out literally when it was all happening. the world was melting. charlie: this was 2008. >> no one knew what was going on aboutgave me that moment incredible storytelling where
6:53 pm
you also learn and it takes your perspective and shakes your perspective. it is one of those moments where just for a moment, oh, that is why we are here. we since of the analyzed that moment in our culture but that was very early on. paula: i was an editor at the wall street journal. y was editing pieces -- m entire life was about the economic meltdown. i heard that. charlie: cure the other thing. it is like movies. the music accentuates the experience. [laughter] those really good. i didn't even know we were coming back in. i feeling podcasting is where the films were in the
6:54 pm
1910's. everyone is learning from each other and saying this is so great i will try it. and then you might be copying me and everyone is learning from each other. paula: we have an lgbtq show and we call it this american life only gayer. [laughter] charlie: there is this. what will change podcast over the next 10 years? it will obviously have a growth trajectory, but will it be technology, will it be what? human creativity will change it? clearing great need of better technology. it is not as easy as sitting in your car and turning on the radio. that would be my ideal. you get in your car and turn on your podcast with one button. it also still hard to find new podcasts that you like. this is called the discovery
6:55 pm
