The comedy and tragedy of [NOT] writing in Hollywood

The 'Sam and Jim go to Hollywood' show expounds on the plight of the writers' strike in show #35.

Show #35: WGA On Strike!
The deadline passed. Now we're on the picket lines. The latest updates, and...
why you shouldn't even think about scab work.

Is this your first time listening to Sam and Jim? After listening to their latest show, I encourage that you go to the archives and listen to the backstory shows--volume 1, 2 and 3 in the "how we got here" series. I'm sure you'll be hooked:)

Backstory volume 1: From Minnesota to L.A.
The first of 3 podcasts about Sam and Jim giving up their old lives to become writers in Hollywood.
In this episode, Sam and Jim decide to try writing, even though they have it pretty good in Minnesota. Then they got a call...

Backstory volume 2: The wonderful world of Disney
In this, the second of 3 podcasts, Sam and Jim move to LA. And while having a job on the Disney studio lot is pretty cool, it ain't easy starting all over again.

Backstory volume 3: What, we can get paid for this?
This is the last episode in the Sam and Jim "how we got here" series 1, 2 and 3.
Sam and Jim finally sell a script. Then another. And another...

Let the journey begin.
