No updates in a long time. Waste of time

I found especially helpful the advice of "cheap deep" and giving complex ideas a face. The podcast is thoughtful in how the episode topics are titled specifically enough so that if you're working on a particular kind of project you can go right to that episode for some guidance and inspiration.

Practical. Fun. Each episode’s a free masterclass in rewriting..

Sam and Jim’s podcast is fantastic. Their experience has equipped them not just with powerful insights into the writing process, but also with the soft skills to allow burgeoning writers to hear and feel heard. It’s an incredible lesson into the process, technique, and challenges of getting something written.

I am loving this podcast. The scriptwriting knowledge that Sam and Jim drop is gold. I’ve learned so much and I’ve only listened to seven episodes so far. Download this show!

Just found this podcast! So glad I did! The hosts discuss such interesting topics and leaving me wanting to hear more. Such an interest concept! Check it out!

Imagine getting your first staff writing job. Before you start, the showrunner calls you into the office and says, “I’m going to spend as long as it takes to teach you everything you need to know to succeed at each stage of your writing career, even mine.” That’s what Sam and Jim are doing in this podcast. They have an incredible knowledge of the art and craft of TV and screenwriting, and they’re literally giving it away to any aspiring writer who wants to listen. I only wish I’d been able to listen to this podcast before getting my first staff writing job — I would’ve been so much better prepared for the writers’ room!

A real world dropping in about the hat actually happens/ gets discussed in a writers’ room. No one tells you this part- they do. Huge recommend

I listened to the car guys all the time, not because I love cars, ‘cause I don’t know much about them, but because the two guys were so engaging. And I always learned something about cars. Now I can sometimes talk to my mechanic! Even if you’re not a TV/movie writing geek like me, you’ll have fun and learn about the creative process from this podcast. And if you are a TV writing geek, writing your own stuff, get your notebook ready! I found myself coming up with tons of ideas for my own work. Listening to someone else’s story is a great way to get out of your head and into learning how to solve story problems the next time that same problem shows up for you. Sam and Jim know their stuff! They bring humor and joy and generosity to every caller. Can’t wait for the next episode!

True to form, Jim and Sam are witty and real, like February in Minnesota. This is a podcast not just for writers, but for anyone who has an idea they think might be worth expanding past the initial thought, or for those who need to share their initial thought in the first place! Keep ‘em coming.

I first met Sam and Jim on their original podcast so many moons ago, back when they were nobody. Now they’re somebodies and still at it. Always entertaining. Should be interesting. Keep it real fellas.

There is are so many good parts to this podcast I don’t know where to start. First if you are a fan of Carnival Row, Haven, Hand if God, Daredevil LISTEN! Sam and Jim have written some of my favorite shows and hearing how they bounce ideas off each other makes everything about the magic of television seem more magical. Second, this podcast isn’t just for writers. All creatives can benefit for the insights and feedback Sam and Jim give and apply it to their medium. Everyone should listen now!

Is there anywhere to purchase J.R. Stan merch?
