Welcome back to Working. I'm your host, June Thomas. You'll notice that I do not have a co-host written this week and that's because we're taking a one episode break from our usual programming to bring you two very special interviews from previous episodes of Working.

The first one is working co-host Karen Hans interview with our other working co-host, Isaac Butler.

You'll hear them discuss Isaac's book, The Method, How the 20th Century Learn to Act, and then, after that, their roles will reverse and you'll hear Isaac interview Karen about her book, Bong Joon Ho, dissident cinema.

So it's been almost a year since Isaac released his book about method acting and we're happy to report that it's been praised over and over by critics and readers alike.

The method was named one of the best books of 2022 by The New Yorker, Time Magazine, The San Francisco Chronicle, Vox, and Salon.

In it, Isaac traces the history of method acting from its birth in 19th century Russia to its impact on American theatre and film.

It's a really fascinating book and I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already.

So here it is, Karen Hans interview with Isaac Butler about the method, How the 20th Century Learned to Act.

Hi Isaac, how are you?

It's surreal to be on the other side.

Alright, so just so we don't disorient our listeners too much, you are on today to talk about your new book which is also so exciting.

Can you tell us what your book is called and what it's about?

My new book is called The Method How the 20th Century Learned to Act.

And it traces the roughly a hundred year long birth, rise, and decline of the method of method acting.

This new idea of what acting should do and what it should be that transformed popular culture first in Russia thanks to this director, actor, and theorist named Constantine Stanislavsky.

And then in the United States thanks to this man named Lee Strasberg and a whole bunch of other people, some marquee names, like Aliyah Kazan, Marlin Brando, Stella Adler, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Ellen Burston, these are all people you'll meet over the course of the book.

How did you settle on a topic like this because I feel like for me at least who where I'm like sort of a method noob, I guess it seems like such a huge undertaking.
