About this episode

Joe Russiello interviews Craig D. Forrest about storytelling, faith, and the impact of media on the human condition.

Tonight, Joe sits down with award-winning television director, documentary filmmaker, author, and global traveler Craig D. Forrest for a fascinating conversation about storytelling, faith, media, and the human condition. Craig shares how firsthand experiences covering terrorism, voodoo, cults, humanitarian crises, and life in some of the world's most dangerous regions strengthened his faith instead of destroying it. Together, Joe and Craig discuss the evolution of television and filmmaking, the rise of artificial intelligence, shrinking attention spans, why authentic storytelling still matters, and what the modern media often misses when reporting on world events. They also dive into Craig's memoir, Night Train to Cairo, and explore how decades spent behind the camera shaped his understanding of truth, culture, and the enduring power of stories. If you enjoy thoughtful long-form conversations exploring faith, culture, history, technology, current events, and the people behind the ideas, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
