  • Cool New Podcast Alert 🚨

    Insightful and entertaining. Am enjoying this fresh take on Writers working in Hollywood (and beyond).

    Veteran showrunners. Working Moms. Writers come in all different shapes and sizes and from all walks of Life. This podcast explores the Origin Stories of the writers themselves which are always fascinating and wildly different from one another.

    Host Sandy Adomaitis keeps the interviews moving along and one shares her obvious enjoyment in the post-interview games with her guests.

  • Learned A Lot!

    Even though I’ve been “in the business “ for years in different areas, I leaned from the writers interviewed. Definitely going to read a scene from the middle first next time. It’s a good test. Can’t wait to hear future interviews.
