Next, Toby switches from host to guest, as he and Peter dive into his love for movie theatres, and how he hopes they are able to stick around following the pandemic and for years to come (19:30). Finally, Peter talks with Head Photographer Ekansh Tambe about a restriction on drone photography in the state of Texas that threatens photojournalists with fines and jail time, and Ekansh updates us on the lawsuit against this legislation claiming a violation of our First Amendment rights (33:50).
