Writers Panel Throwback: Breaking Bad Season 5 In Review
25/02/2020 Duração: 01h17minBetter Call Saul is back! The new season began this week on AMC. What better time to revisit co-creator/showrunner Peter Gould, co-creator Vince Gilligan, writer/producers Thomas Schnauz and Gordon Smith, along with then-Breaking Bad writer/producers George Mastras, Sam Catlin, Gennifer Hutchison, and Moira Walley-Beckett as they looked back at the pivotal penultimate season of Breaking Bad in 2012? The Bad/Saul rooms have been instructive and fascinating, changing very little in their process of over ten years of making incredible television. Lots to learn here.

Introducing: The Topical
03/02/2020 Duração: 04minFrom the writers of The Onion and "A Very Fatal Murder" comes a fake news podcast that's better than the real thing. The daily news podcast is an increasingly crowded field. But the nascent genre has finally been validated with the arrival of its very own satirical takedown. At less than 10 minutes a day, there is no reasonable excuse for not listening to The Topical. From the successful cloning of God by Vatican scientists to the release of Starbucks’ new $7 wake-up slap, The Topical will cover news large and small. Premiering January 29, you can find The Topical in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, PodNow, NowPod, PodLater, PostPod, PodPod or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
