About This Podcast
Hosted by journalist Mallika Kapur, The Next Edition dives headfirst into the glorious creative mess that lies behind every masterpiece.
We explore the discarded drafts, alternate endings and deleted scenes and reveal what writers, filmmakers, journalists, and artists are itching to add to the next edition of their iconic creations.
The most compelling chapter of a story might not be the one we know, but the one that’s yet to be told.
Because a story is never truly done.
