A Generous Dispensation of Professional Screenwriting Advice
As a routine reader of John August's eponymous blog and an occasional visitor to Craig Mazin's "The Artful Writer," I am delighted that these two screenwriters started a podcast.

The podcast helpfully provides neither mindlessly enthusiastic optimism, nor cynically jaded pessimism about the prospects of ambitious, fledgling filmmakers.
