Love
Gives me everything I need.
Rant room
Been listening for years. My personal favorite podcast on screenwriting. #IWriteFilms
Could be so helpful
If Lisa would let someone else talk. She dominates the conversation in ways that are not helpful for people who want to listen to writers talk about tv writing.
