    I’ve been listening since the beginning, and Liz and Sarah feel like old friends to me. I couldn’t be further removed from Hollywood or the entertainment industry, but they always have great hacks and advice for navigating life—professional life AND personal life.

  • Not just for writers

    I have learned so much about Hollywood and the world of writers through Liz and Sarah which has been fun but that is only a small part of what I get out of this podcast. I love hearing them talk about their friendship, their writing partnership, their families and just their lives in general. I never fail to pick up a useful tip. I have been listening from the beginning and look forward to Thursdays when I get to get caught on their lives.
