In the fourth episode, host Peter Sagal sits down with The Plot Against America creator and executive producer David Simon to discuss Part Four of the limited series.

They also take us deeper into the show’s production, and reveal the line that made Winona Ryder say yes to the role of Evelyn. The next episode of this podcast comes out after Part Five of the series. The Plot Against America airs Mondays at 9 PM on HBO.
