If we were a movie studio and somebody sent us the script, we would probably reject it, you know, for just being unbelievable, right?

Like, it just doesn't, these stories do not come along. And our job as storytellers, as visual storytellers,

is just not to screw it up.

That's our job, to do it justice.

And, you know, in the end, I think we did. Oh, Hey everybody. I'm your host Stephen Pulverin and this is Hodincky Radio.

We've got a super special episode for you this week and one that I'm really really

excited to share. We're going to spend the entirety of this week's episode

taking a deep dive into the long return which is a two-part video feature that we've

produced over the last two-plus years. The long

return tells the story of two men who met at the height of the Vietnam War and

the battle-damaged Tudor Samaritaner they kept them connected for over 50 years.

It's the story of what happened to that watch. Mariner, they kept them connected for over 50 years.

It's the story of what happened to that watch,

what happened to these two men,

and how the watch eventually, five decades later,

found its way home and started ticking again.

So the two-part video feature is almost 24 minutes in total,

but there's so much more than what you see in this final product.

So I wanted to get the people who made the long return on the show to kind of give us a peek behind the scenes and they did not disappoint one bit.

We sit down with Will Holloway, who's our head of video and was the executive producer on this.

Gray Corhoneen, who you probably know is the producer of this show,

but he was also the producer and director of photography
