Euro Pudding SEAN, Pierre Puget, Philipp Scherzer

Our guests wrote the book "The German Room", comparing the TV writing processes in the US and Germany. With them, we talk about potential solutions brought by their work to see how the European TV landscape can adapt to the new global reality and if the conditions of writers could improve.

This episode is longer than usual. This happens when people who love stories talk about stories! Our guest is a German writer known by all other German writers; he works in every format and genre and is a professor at several international schools for TV writing: Prof. Dr Joachim Friedmann! We talk about his book "Storytelling for Media", about teaching writing, and the current state of television and creation. Enjoy!

Thanks to our talk with Louis Bonneau, Project Manager for the Audiovisual Innovation Fund at the CNC in Paris, you will understand how this crucial public body functions and how and why to apply for one of the grants they offer.

Pierre was in Cologne this Wednesday, June 14th, for the International Day of Solidarity with the WGA. He brings you this special short report "on the field"—peak journalism.

With German writers Teresa Hochmuth & Korbinian Hamberger, we talk about writing fiction for kids. How to target this specific audience, and how these stories lend themselves to several formats and supports. Connect with your inner child in this episode of Euro Pudding!

We learned more about writing for audio thanks to a wonderful chat with our guests, who are both creators of original Audible series: German writer Katharina Lang and British author Anthony Khaseria. Open your ears and enjoy!
