Summary
The stars you think you know. The films that became legends. The people the world almost forgot. When They Were Making It — a narrative documentary podcast about classic Hollywood's greatest icons, from the silent era to the early 1960s. Not the myths. Not the takedowns. The whole human story of the glamour, the ambition, the machinery, and the damage behind the icons. WTWMI premiered May 26, 2026 with Marilyn Monroe (Part 1). Part 2 dropped June 2 — the day after what would have been her 100th birthday. Hosted, written, and produced by Patrick Rankin. Artwork by Simone Beech and original music by Lionel Ziblat. New episodes of WTWMI drop every Tuesday. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.
