Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Reshma Saujani
Q: How have you used your platform to advance practical tools for families?
She explains Moms First's development of PayLeave.ai, a tool to help individuals determine eligibility for paid leave, illustrating how AI can translate policy into usable assistance for everyday families.
Jacob Tierney
Q: What was your pathway from child actor to writer-director?
I kept acting early, then shifted to writing and directing when the right opportunities appeared, including working on The 11th Hour and later The Trotsky, which led to bigger directing gigs and eventually Letterkenny.
Jacob Tierney
Q: Being that you didn't go to school, how did you learn to write?
I just read a lot and absorbed scripts, which trained me to write; I learned by consuming thousands of scripts and studying structure.
Ben McKenzie
Q: For someone who doesn't know at all, can you just lay out what crypto is and why it is a scam?
Crypto started as a digital ledger technology with aims of direct person-to-person value transfer, but its value and legitimacy have been warped by speculative behavior, dark-web associations, and a lack of accountability, leading to a cycle where most users lose money while a small group profits.
Zoe Lister-Jones
Q: How did you come up with Slip and what inspired its themes?
Zoe describes Slip as a natural evolution from Band-Aid, rooted in sexual empowerment and world-building through a female-centered lens, and discusses the process of writing seven episodes during the pandemic, directing, and casting choices.
