The Fifth Column’s resident Kanye aficionado Kmele Foster sits down with Nico Ballesteros, director of In Whose Name?, a 100% verité documentary that follows Kanye West over the course of six tumultuous years. Just 18 years-old when the project began, and shooting on an iPhone, Ballesteros spent 15 hours a day recording every aspect of Kanye’s life from the explosive to the mundane, stringing together scenes from a singular life that includes cameos from Drake, Kim Kardashian, Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, Marilyn Manson, Elon Musk, Pharell, Kris Jenner, David Letterman, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Joel Osteen, and Anna Wintour.

Hosted by journalists Kmele Foster, Michael Moynihan, and Matt Welch, The Fifth Column provides a weekly rhetorical assault on the news cycle, the people who make it, and occasionally themselves.
