“I thought perhaps this podcast was only relevant to aspiring television writers, but during a recent carpool an actor friend was listening with me and he found it just as fascinating (and hilarious) as I do. He even asked if there was more. You'll learn so much about the TV writing industry that you'll need to buy your brain an external hard drive, and then you will puzzle over how exactly to hook it into your head, but you will have it and it will work somehow. And you'll know all the things. ALL of them.
In all seriousness, if you have even an inkling that you'd like to write for TV, you need this podcast. I studied theatre and playwriting, and only recently considered TV. On listening to this podcast, I've heard writers say a lot of things that I've always thought that have put me at odds with fellow playwrights. That's one of many reasons it's so great to hear these writers talk about their experiences. They're all charming and clever, so it's no wonder they've made excellent television. If nothing else, you'll get some great recommendations on what to watch next. Just make sure you're caught up on any shows you plan to watch that these writers have worked on. I had Breaking Bad spoiled pretty hard. (My fault for being behind, but still.)
