Princess Diana, The Crown and Responsible Storytelling (Patreon)

You asked, we podcasted. Since the premiere of The Crown's fourth season, we've been getting requests to talk about the show's portrayal of Princess Diana and how we feel about the (numerous!) changes the show made to her story. Spoiler: They make us feel weird!
Since Sarah's never seen the show (and Mike has only seen the Olivia Coleman seasons), we used the conversation as a jumping off point to talk about the ethics of turning true stories into entertainment. Oh, and also prestige TV tropes, Zero Dark Thirty, The Social Network, All the President's Men, The Devil Wears Prada, Erin Brockovich, Tonya Harding, Willem Dafoe, Veep and Time After Time a forgotten '70s movie about H.G. Wells traveling through time with Jack the Ripper.
As usual, let us know in the comments if there's other things you want us to talk about in future bonus episodes.
