"This is Not a Story About..." is a classically-inspired modern radio program about the history of cinema written and hosted by filmmaker Ted Geoghegan. Each episode of the program begins as the story of someone or something in the world of film that cinephiles know very well, but transforms into an expertly-researched tale about a new topic: one that can be closely-related or worlds away from where its story began.

Finished listening to this beautifully narrated story just now. Excellent work, Ted Geoghegan! Research, narrative framing and vocals are all top-notch. Such rich detail, such powerful use of music. I could binge these all day. Consider me a fan!

It’s a pleasure to listen to something well researched and thought out. The histories of things we thought we knew only to learn an even more interesting less known tale.

Well executed and heartwarming listen!
