One of the best filmakers alive. Thank you for this interview. Hugs from Mexico City.

[@TisHotMessHistory]

This is such a treat. Thank you for sharing this interview with us.

[@AftreGaol]

One of my heroes

"Pursuit of happiness is not about stuff, it's about lifelong learning" 🤯

[@dailyequanimity]

I took in so much history with your outstanding interview and really enjoy the work both of you offer to the world.

[@brentmunro5026]

Wow, best interview or conversation I have heard in a long time. Bravo!

[@futureboy314]

Thanks for all you do, Ryan.

[@HominidRex]

Great work, Ryan. Looking forward to watching Leonardo da Vinci.

[@spinnyjb1]

I love Ken Burns. What a treasure

[@merrillmchenry1450]

I have a old quote i'm reminded of: "As kids we learn fairy tales, as adults we unlearn them".

[@scsulliva]

This was a really great conversation to listen to. Thank you both for sharing! Very excited to watch the new documentary!

[@rcfallah]

That discussion on the pursuit of happiness, that it is about "becoming better" reminds me of a french expression I love. "Happiness is not a goal, but a reward."

[@susanschaffner4422]

History of WWIi is so wonderful and moving. And this discussion is erudite and such a pleasure to hear. Thanks.

[@kkpenney444]

This was a fascinating conversation and an intellectual salve I sorely needed amid these times. Thank you.

[@CarolFoegen]

History does not repeat itself, people do.

[@charlescorbit1]

Great podcast! Thank you!

[@Sarah-e9m7t]

Ken Burns Baseball was/is great, currently watching it now...though finding the 10th inning is impossible

[@underacheiver2000]

I would love a Ken Burns documentary on Mary Fagan.

[@KingEdwardMMVIII]

Ken burns docs need to go back on a streaming site people actually use. 😢

[@ManchesterSloth]

"Did you say Marus Aurelius?" Drinking game right there

[@brickingbad5302]

Please review Gladiator II. It talks about Marcus Aurelius again!

[@langwell21]

He definitely told some stories-Tall tales about Ty Cobb in his baseball doc

KIN BURNS

[@MorallyDerogatoryCA]

29:23 - 30:24: I love Ken Burns, but spewing leftist, Democrat tropes in modern day politics gives you a window into his warped perception of the times. No man is infallible, I suppose. Great interview nonetheless.

[@kkpenney444]

People like you are truly the ones with TDS. Burns tells nothing but the truth.

[@Doncanine-z8n]

​@@kkpenney444I don't give a damn about Trump or Biden, or any of the other professional wrestlers, we call politicians. Having said that, Ken Burns is a hack, and is a bought and paid for ,agenda-driven, lying sack of 💩

[@ultzisakhain]

Yeah, but.... he's correct here. The idea of the deep state is absurd. And if you think that Trump, as the President of the US, isn't part of a so called "deep state" isn't part of it, you need to think again.

[@mattholden5]

@Daily_Stoic: I like your message. Here's a pragmatic suggestion. Distill this message down to 15 min, then down to 5 min, then down to 20 seconds. We need a message that fits on a bumper sticker.

[@Caroline-to2vx]

Boooo Ken Burns for bringing his biased politics into this conversation.

[@geraldstephens8791]

Ken Burns- head of TDS central.

[@losgkingslayer6188]

Hey Ken please think about making a documentary about the 1900 Storm that hit Galveston Island, it's a powerful story that should never be forgotten.
