Peter Goddard

Cause you would follow.

I want to know what Peter Goddard thinks of the concert last week, or are they going to review the new, whatever Zeppelin record or whatever that might be.

And are they going to do a feature on whatever? So there was a lot of those guys that were, were really powerful people.

Of course, remember John Sakamoto at the Toronto sun.

And there's also another guy who's kind of like us who I interview who's since passed away.

His name is Peter Goddard.

And he was a great music writer and film critic for the Toronto Star.

And he was one of the first Pauls I made because he had an article.

Yeah, I just, I wanted to sort of, you know, know what the piece is about.

In 1988, journalist Peter Goddard writes what my initial research finds is the first published article linking Richard Gere and a gerbil.

The article with only one sentence about Gere runs in the Toronto Star newspaper with a dateline September 18th, 1988, at the end of that year's Toronto Film Festival.

Goddard refers to Miles from Home and writes, Richard Gere should have taken up a new hobby,

He's wary, so we have a phone call before the start of a more official interview.

I've been working on this podcast a long time.

This talk with Peter Goddard is from December 2020, just as I start exploring.

So can I walk you back one step? Because a good part of my writing life has not been in film.
