The Latent Image
Every photograph hides a second story: how it was made, who it changed, and what it can no longer prove. Two curious hosts follow one image, one idea or one argument from the world of photography each week, start with the simple version, and dig until they hit something nobody tells you.
Hosted by Wren and Theo, performed by synthetic voices. Sources are in every episode's notes.
