Podcast Pornography

It’s been a year since I discovered the Stephen J. Cannell podcast and, frankly, I didn’t think I’d ever find a show that could offer the same amount of nourishment to aspiring TV writers like myself.

I was wrong.

Recently, I discovered the Nerdist Writing Panel podcast and WOW, is it inspiring! They’ve only done a handful so far but the show is wall-to-wall awesomeness for anyone interested in the TV writing process. Listen to writers like Steve Levitan or Jane Espenson talk about how they got started, what it’s like in different rooms, how they tackle technical problems in structure, etc. Basically, questions that no other interviewer is asking are boilerplate on this show.

If you’re reading this blog, you’re in the same business as me, so I imagine nobody has even read this far – that you’re already downloading the first episode.

Enjoy.
