  • Tommy Andres on The Eyes of the Tiger

    Tommy Andres on The Eyes of the Tiger
    Jan 21 2026
    Tommy Andres is an audio journalist whose work has spanned This American Life, CNN, and Marketplace, where he spent years as a senior producer. More recently, he’s focused on deeply reported, limited-run narratives, including Third Squad After Afghanistan, which was shortlisted for a National Magazine Award and won an Edward R. Murrow Award. He also served as executive producer on We Came to the Forest. In this episode, Andres talks to Matthew about The Eyes of the Fighter, a two-part story he hosted and produced for Sports Explains the World. It begins with a home invasion in the middle of the night and turns inward, as Andres tries to understand how Jermaine Thompson, a former wrestler and amateur MMA fighter, ended up inside his Atlanta home. The search takes him through wrestling gyms, MMA, and a spiral of addiction and pain. He also reflects on what it’s like to report on your own life, how body-camera footage challenged his memory of what happened, and the discomfort of turning someone else’s lowest moment into a story. “Did he fully know this was going to turn into a real thing? That’s a scary place to be,” Andres says. “Because you start asking yourself: did I help this guy or did I hurt this guy? The whole point of the piece is I’m rooting for him. And then you wonder if you just used him to get a story. That extractive feeling makes me uncomfortable.” To connect with the team and gain access to behind the scenes content, join our community at ⁠joincampside.com⁠.

  • Selwyn Seyfu Hinds on Washington Black

    Selwyn Seyfu Hinds on Washington Black
    Jan 14 2026
    Selwyn Seyfu Hinds is a screenwriter, journalist, and creator whose work spans music, comics, and television. He was once the editor in chief of The Source, co-created the comic series Dominique Laveau: Voodoo Child, and has written for Jordan Peele’s The Twilight Zone. In this episode, he talks to Matthew about Washington Black, the Hulu adaptation of Esi Edugyan’s novel, developed in collaboration with Sterling K. Brown. He breaks down how the project came together, why he connected to Wash’s journey so personally, and how the show balances the brutality of slavery with a world driven by imagination, dreaming, and flight as a metaphor for hope. “Being a showrunner is as close as you can get to playing God,” he says. “It’s really you and the blank page and it’s Genesis and you’re like, ‘Let there be flying ships,’ right?” To connect with the team and gain access to behind the scenes content, join our community at ⁠joincampside.com⁠.

  • Mandy Matney on the Murdaugh Murders Podcast

    Mandy Matney on the Murdaugh Murders Podcast
    Jan 7 2026
    Mandy Matney is a journalist and the creator of the Murdaugh Murders podcast, the hit true-crime series that followed the unraveling of the Murdaugh family long before Alex Murdaugh’s 2023 murder conviction. Reporting from South Carolina, Matney broke major stories by leaning on deep local knowledge and a willingness to dig into details others overlooked. She is also the founder of the audio company LunaShark and the author of the bestselling book Blood on Their Hands: Murder, Corruption, and the Fall of the Murdaugh Dynasty. You can listen to her new podcast, True Sunlight here. In this episode, she talks to Matthew about how the Murdaugh Murders grew from a planned ten-episode podcast into an ongoing investigation with more than ninety episodes, what it was like becoming part of the story she was covering, and why local journalism is so important. “The fact that I knew enough about the beat to spot a connection most reporters would miss,” she says, “that’s why local journalism matters.” To connect with the team and gain access to behind the scenes content, join our community at ⁠joincampside.com⁠.
