“Years ago when I was a fledgling writer, I went on a general meeting with Meg LeFauve when she was running Jodie Foster’s company. I remember thinking “if only all the executives could be like her.” In those days, they most certainly were not. There were so few women in power and female driven stories were ignored and derided. Things are changing for the better, but the male perspective is still strong in Hollywood, and that includes the screenwriting podcast world. I used to listen to another podcast hosted by A List male writers who give generously of their time and expertise. Trouble was, at the end of the shows, though I may have gleaned useful information, I often was full of anxiety and actually felt worse about the business. Meg and Lorien do the opposite. Their perspective is holistic and deeply empathetic. After every episode, I feel validated and inspired. They seem like genuinely good people who attract good people as guests. I’m hooked!”
