The L Word a 20 ans.C'est une série télévisée américaine emblématique qui a marqué la culture populaire lors de sa diffusion originale de 2004 à 2009. Créée par Ilene Chaiken, Michele Abbott et Kathy Greenberg, elle raconte la vie d'un groupe de femmes lesbiennes, bisexuelles et leurs amies à Los Angeles.La série a été pionnière dans sa représentation de personnages LGBTQ+ complexes et nuancés à une époque où de tels portraits étaient rares à la télévision. Avec des personnages comme Bette Porter, Shane McCutcheon, Alice Pieszecki et Jenny Schecter, "The L Word" explorait des thèmes comme l'identité, l'amour, l'amitié, la carrière et la famille.Son impact culturel a été tel qu'une suite, "The L Word: Generation Q", a été lancée en 2019, reprenant certains personnages originaux tout en introduisant une nouvelle génération, reflétant l'évolution des expériences LGBTQ+ dans la société contemporaine.
Jess is joined by ELIZABETH ZIFF — writer, producer and BETTY musician behind THE L WORD theme song. We discuss: dating L Word creator Ilene Chaiken, writing for Bette Porter (Jennifer Beals) and Jenny Schecter (Mia Kirshner) and specific episodes & storylines she wrote. Plus — early BETTY gigs in the 80s/90s, the nexus of “lesbian chic” at East Village's Café Tabac, why Beyoncé songs have 10 writers and more!

Rose Byrne et Seth Rogen réunis dans Platonic Rose Byrne et Seth Rogen jouaient ensemble un couple marié dans Nos pires voisins, ils se retrouvent dans Platonic mais différemment puisque comme le titre l'indique, il s'agit de l'histoire d'un duo de meilleurs amis, ou plutôt d'anciens meilleurs amis platoniques. En effet, la vie les a éloignés, et les a à nouveau réunis. Ils vont devoir donc apprendre à se connaître à nouveau. La comédie sera disponible à partir du 24 mai sur AppleTV+. Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story a sa bande-annonce La reine Charlotte va débarquer à Buckingham contre son gré, et malgré tout, elle va tomber amoureuse du roi semblerait-il. Mise en ligne le 4 mai prochain, Queen Charlotte promet le côté soap de Bridgerton avec sa dose de romance, de commérages et de corsets. https://youtu.be/lvjsLIhmw5k The L Word Generation Q est annulée La saison 3 de The L Word Generation Q marquera le dernier chapitre de ce suite. Avec une fin qui venait boucler le couple Tina/Bette, les fans soupçonnaient une annulation possible. Toutefois avec cette mauvaise nouvelle, il y a de l'espoir, puisque Ilene Chaiken la créatrice de la série originelle, se pencherait sur un spin-off qui se déroulerait à New York. Grey's Anatomy renouvelée pour une saison 20 Certes, de nombreux départs annoncés, le dernier en date étant celui de Kelly McCreary dans le rôle du Dr Maggie Pierce, mais Grey's Anatomyva souffler une nouvelle bougie. Pour sa 20e saison, la nouvelle showrunneuse sera Meg Marinis, qui remplace Krista Vernoff. Il faut dire que cette dernière saison a été fortement appréciée, notamment avec le renouveau des internes qui a réussi à en convaincre plus d'un. Clap de fin pour You La série populaire avec Penn Badgley va se finir avec une saison 5. Renouvelée pour une dernière saison, You se termine officiellement. Le stalker serial killer reviendra à New York, après une saison en Angleterre. Sera Gamble qui était showrunneuse toutes ces saisons laissera sa place au duo Michael Foley et Justin W. Lo pour le dernier chapitre.

In the final installment of our L Word trilogy, Jess is joined by L Word historians Ash Silver (renowned YouTuber) and Chris Lintner (@thelwordonline). Chris shares her story of getting confronted by Ilene Chaiken in Vancouver for putting pieces of the scripts online in 2006 and Ash reveals how she ingratiated herself to Showtime in present day, with an invitation to the Gen Q set several months ago. Together, we discuss actor contracts, why Sepideh Moafi (Gigi) left, the alledged truth behind Erin Daniels (Dana) exiting the show, where are Rachel Shelley (Helena) and Sarah Shahi (Carmen)... and more behind the scenes sapphic chaos than you asked for.

Pamela Anderson as a bounty hunter who impales nazis with the heel of her stilettos. Ice-T as the leader of a rebel group of half kangaroo men. A Courtney Love produced soundtrack featuring Björk and Face to Face. Lori Petty headlining an MGM-produced adaptation of a cult comic book series. Things that could have only existed in the mid-90s. For the seventh installment of our ROTTEN APOCALYPSE series, we're diving into a pair of steampunk Gen-X flicks that remind us what comic book movies looked like before the now-dominant behemoth of Marvel Studios. First up, it's the 1995 queer cult favorite "Tank Girl" starring Lori Petty, Ice-T and a young Naomi Watts. After that, we're jumping forward a year to 1996 for the softcore re-imagining of "Casablanca" you never knew existed with Pamela Anderson's notorious "Barb Wire." Podcast regular and co-host of Gay Wine, Kae Whalen, joins us to recount their "Tank Girl" Halloween costume and the cult following the movie amassed with young queer girls in the aftermath of its initial failure. We'll also be talking Pamela Anderson's cultural impact, "The L Word" creator Ilene Chaiken's first writing credit with "Barb Wire", Naomi Watts' quiet 90s, Kourtney's hatred of half-kangaroo men, and an unfortunate character named Big Fatso! You can follow Kae on Instagram @gaewhalen where you can catch up with their show, Gay Wine every week!
In a future 2017, in the midst of the 2nd American Civil War, nightclub owner Barbara Kopetski (AKA Barb Wire) is forced to decide between maintaining her neutrality or supporting a cause she left behind long ago. Based on a Dark Horse comic of the same name, Barb Wire is one of those late 90s action films that cranks it up to 11 and doesn't back down. This week, Nigel and Kaitlyn discuss their apocalypse nicknames, the effectiveness of show don't tell, and their enthusiastic love of this film. You won't want to miss it!

Ilene Chaiken is known by lesbians for being the creator and executive producer of The L Word, but did you also know she's behind The Handmaid's Tale, Empire, and now her latest, Law and Order: Organized Crime? This short episode is PACKED with behind the scenes secrets.
Patricia Velásquez is our very first supermodel turned actress on the show! You Might Know Her From The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, The Curse of La Llorona, Arrested Development, Liz in September, American Family, and The L Word. Patricia opened up about her decision to publicly come out in her memoir Straight Walk : A Supermodel's Journey to Finding Her Truth on the heels of headlining Liz in September, the first Spanish language film about lesbians. We talked about how The Mummy Returns is lesbian canon, why her character on The L Word didn’t get more to do, and what it was like to be on the set of Arrested Development with a bunch of comedy men (and Liza!). All that, plus Patricia gives us the dream exercise that she used to make peace with La Llorona, and tells us tales of making history as the first Latina (and lesbian) supermodel, who happened to be in a relationship with Sandra Bernhard in the 1990s. Truly, what a treat.

This week we’re discussing The L Word created by Ilene Chaiken. Most people will have watched The L Word at some point in their life. It follows a group of wlw living in LA, while their talking, laughing, loving, breathing, fighting, fucking, crying, drinking, riding, winning, losing, cheating, kissing, thinking, dreaming because this is the way that they live. We discuss the difference in views between 2004-09 and now, this show is sadly riddled with biphobia and transphobia, and with the reboot we have high hopes they will fix their wrongs. It’s strange to see straight people be the minority, but we have seen no other show like it. *SPOILER ALERT* We discuss the main storylines of each season and our favourite episode/season. As well as our favourite characters of them all. From season 5 supremacy to the disaster that is season 3. At this point Becca hadn’t watched the Gen Q reboot, so she makes her predictions of where she thinks everyone will be in 10 years’ time.

Welcome to Straight 2 L, a podcast about the television series The L Word! Host Tonya (a lesbian) invites Suzanne and Whitney (two straights) into her home to take a deep dive into the 15-year old show. This week, we are taking a break and discussing Disclosure, the Netflix documentary on trans representation in television and movies. We are joined by James, one of the greatest of the tens, and discuss questions like: How has trans representation in media changed over time? Can any of us cope with the greatness that is Laverne Cox? Why do we not see as many portrayals of trans men as trans women? Are there hidden truths in the storylines around Max, and did Ilene Chaiken just stumble onto them? And should we watch Vampire Diaries next? Break out that last reserve of Fresca and join us for a chat on Disclosure! Plus, consider donating to Emergency Release Fund, which provides bail funds to the trans community in New York City, as systemic discrimination and criminalization puts them more at risk during pre-trial detention. It was a donation to this organization that led to this bonus episode!
Qu’il s’agisse de quelques verres pour l’apéro, d’ouvrir une bouteille pour les grandes occasions, ou encore de boire à outrance et le plus vite possible pour épater les autres, l’alcool a une place très importante dans notre société. Alors que certain·e·s pratiquent le « dry January » (un mois sans consommer de boisson alcoolisée), d’autres se servent peut-être un verre de vin à la fin d’une dure journée. Dans ce nouvel épisode, Clémentine et Pauline s’intéressent à la relation qu’entretiennent les femmes à l’alcool et sa représentation dans la pop culture.

On the heels of his National Book Critics Circle Award-winning memoir Half a Life, Darin Strauss, author of the New York Times bestseller Chang & Eng, presents us with a wild and indelible story based on the loves and losses of Lucille Ball, the woman who became Hollywood’s first true female mogul while navigating a tumultuous personal life. In The Queen of Tuesday, Strauss mixes fact and fiction, memoir and novel, to bring us face-to-face with one of the world’s most remarkable entertainers. The novel begins with a daring conceit: that the author’s grandfather, Isidore Strauss, may have enjoyed—and suffered as a result of—a passionate affair with the legendary actress. As Strauss shows, Lucille is a singular character—the greatest screen idol the world has ever seen, and the most powerful woman in the history of Hollywood. She starred in America’s first big-time interracial marriage. She loved hard. She may or may not have been a Communist. And she more or less single-handedly came up with the modern television business. When she got pregnant, she convinced a network that viewers would accept warmed-over episodes, thus creating the “re-run.” While making millions laugh on the small screen, in private Lucille struggled. Her partner in that famously “happy marriage” that people tuned into, reliably, week after week, couldn’t stay faithful. And she found it difficult to balance her ever-ascending fame with the demands of being a mother, a creative genius, an entrepreneur, a media tycoon, and, most of all, a symbol. Did Strauss’s grandfather actually have a relationship with the First Lady of Television? Who’s to say he did, and who’s to say he didn’t? Regardless, The Queen of Tuesday vibrates with Lucy’s inspiring and surprisingly human story at the same time it interrogates celebrity, media, the role of gender, and the manufacturing of glamour, offering a fresh view of a woman America adored, and reminding us all that, sometimes, you have to create your own reality. Darin Strauss is the author of the bestselling novels Chang & Eng, The Real McCoy, More Than It Hurts You, the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning memoir Half a Life, and a bestselling comic-book series, Olivia Twist. Together, they’ve been New York Times Notable Books and Newsweek, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Chicago Tribune, Amazon, and NPR Best Books of the Year. The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an American Library Award, Strauss has been published in 14 languages and 19 countries. He has appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS’s The Late Late Show, and has collaborated on screenplays with Gary Oldman and Julie Taymor. Films based on Half a Life and More Than it Hurts You are in progress, and the TV rights to Chang & Eng have been optioned to Ilene Chaiken, a creative force behind The “L” Word, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Empire. Clinical Professor of Fiction in the Graduate Writing Program at New York University, he lives in Brooklyn. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steve-richards/support

Instinct maternel, bonnes mères et mauvaises mères, travailler ou aimer ses enfants… Aujourd’hui, le fait d’être mère semble encore s’analyser à l’aune de modèles extrêmement restreints.

Keira Knightley dans une minisérie Hulu Hulu continue d’attirer les grands noms sur sa plateforme. C’est cette fois l’actrice Keira Knightley qui est annoncée à la tête d’un projet de série intitulée The Other Typist, adapté du roman « Vice & Vertu : Mon amie Odalie » publié en 2013. Celle-ci racontera l’histoire d’une dactylo travaillant dans un commissariat de New York alors en pleine prohibition dans les années 1920. Après sa rencontre avec une nouvelle collègue de travail, Odalie, jouée par Keira Knightley, elle découvrira la face cachée de la ville. La co-créatrice de The L Word, Ilene Chaiken, officiera en tant que showrunneuse de la série qui est en cours d’écriture. Star Wars Clone Wars : la série d’animation n’aura pas de suite ni de spin-off Star Wars : Clone Wars n’aura pas de suite, ni de spin-off. C’est en tout cas ce qu’a annoncé le showrunner de la série Dave Filoni au micro du site The Nerdist, alors que la série animée s’est récemment terminée au bout de 7 saisons sur Disney+. Le scénariste a en effet déclaré qu’après autant d’années, il était temps d’aller de l’avant et de résister à l’envie d’étendre ses histoires à l’infini. Le passage de flambeau est donc officiel avec The Mandalorian qui accueillera plusieurs personnages de Clone Wars dans sa deuxième saison en octobre sur Disney+.

“C’mon loosen up lesbians... You want to celebrate the snatch, venerate the vagina, praise the pussy!” — Billy BlakeyDana Fairbanks, you will always be our sunshine. Season three of The L Word was a literal matter of life and death, as Dana succumbs to breast cancer in the saddest story arc of the series, while Max begins his new life as a trans man.

If you intend to climb the career ladder straight to the top, step #1 is understanding the four different types of creative jobs. Only once you understand where your job fits in can you then reframe your perspective to get the most out of every opportunity (or know if it’s time to bail out). Imagine for a moment you’ve wanted to be a doctor your whole life, and the first year of medical school is finally here. After getting a toy stethoscope for your fifth birthday, you spent the next eighteen years dreaming of wearing the white coat, helping others in need, and writing the letters ‘M.D.’ after your name. Yet despite knowing that being a doctor is the only true career path for you, you’re frustrated, anxious, and depressed. Why? You feel like all the work you’re putting in could potentially be a total waste of time because you haven’t seen enough results yet....you want to be a doctor NOW. “What if medical school isn’t right for me? I should just become an independent doctor instead.” “Maybe I should network with medical directors at local hospitals to see if there are any openings. I know I have the skills and can prove myself today.” “I deserve the white coat. Why hasn’t someone discovered me yet?” Wait a second...no medical student has ever been pulled out of their first year of medical school and given a white coat and a degree because they were “discovered.” While no one would disagree that becoming a doctor is incredibly hard, it’s also simple (not to be confused with easy). It’s common knowledge that becoming a doctor requires everyone to follow the same path, and following that path combined with hard work and good grades almost guarantees a career in medicine. Success Rarely Has a Defined Path Unfortunately following a single defined path is a luxury you don’t have if you work in a creative field (especially filmmaking). You may have gotten your first camera at five years old and spent every moment since learning the crafts of directing, editing, cinematography, etc. Yet despite the fact that in your mind you are a “filmmaker,” your current job title says otherwise. Let’s say you’re an assistant, and your job duties include fetching the director’s coffee, pickup up the producer’s dry cleaning, and getting lunch for the grumpy editors who never talk to you. In short: You’re a gofer. You’re confident you have the skills to be a successful filmmaker, but you feel like all you do is spin your wheels, stuck in the exact same place. Not knowing whether or not your efforts at your current job will pay off has left you frustrated, anxious, and depressed. You’re confident you have the skills to be a successful filmmaker, but you feel like all you do is spin your wheels, stuck in the exact same place. Even worse, you recently read a story about director Ryan Coogler who’s first feature film right out of film school Fruitvale Station won him the grand jury prize at Sundance, and now he’s directing Marvel’s Black Panther! Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan, two guys way cooler than me and you. Knowing there are real people not much older (or even younger) than you who are light years ahead in the same career is demoralizing, especially when you have no clue if your current job is leading you to the promised land...or completely wasting your time. Resentment creeps in, your performance suffers, and what was formerly an “opportunity” has become an “obligation.” What if simply understanding where your current job fits into your own unique career path completely changed the way you approach your duties day-to-day and you suddenly had 100% confidence that this was the exact path leading to your dream job. Imagine having the same level of clarity as a first-year medical student that you were in the right place and all that mattered were your results. Would your mindset change? Your mood? Your performance? If you intend to climb the career ladder straight to the top, your first step is understanding the four different types of creative jobs. Only once you understand where your job fits in can you then reframe your perspective to get the most out of every opportunity (or know if it’s time to bail out). The ‘Paycheck’ Job The ‘Paycheck’ job is unfortunately the most common simply because the vast majority of jobs in the world are things that need to get done that most people just don’t want to do. It pays the rent and keeps you from starving, but that’s about it. You aren’t passionate about the work you do You aren’t building your professional network You aren’t learning new skills You definitely aren’t climbing the right career ladder It’s boring It’s stressful You don’t necessarily like your co-workers You get sick often and never have any energy Time feels like it stands still You live for the weekends Once your basic needs are met, the ‘Paycheck’ job is simply stealing your time, your energy, and your life. To be clear: There is nothing wrong with working a ‘Paycheck’ job if the most important priority in your life is to cover your rent, buy groceries, or support your family. There is no shame in working to survive, it’s a stage of life everyone goes through at some point. But once your basic needs are met, the ‘Paycheck’ job is simply stealing your time, your energy, and your life. Staying at a ‘Paycheck’ job for longer than necessary comes at a tremendous cost that in my opinion far outweighs any financial benefits, and it can lead to: Diminished passion for your craft Chronic anxiety Irritability Depression Total. Creative. Burnout. Assuming you have no interest in working a ‘Paycheck’ job the rest of your life and you’d prefer a different rung on the ladder, what’s the next step? The ‘Lifestyle’ Job The ‘Lifestyle’ job is a significant upgrade from the ‘Paycheck’ job. Your basic financial needs are met so it fulfills the main benefit of the ‘Paycheck’ job, but it also comes with a host of additional benefits: Your hours are good which allows you to spend more time with your family Your commute is awesome You love your co-workers Your work environment is virtually stress-free The pay is good and you have “fun money” to spare every month And the job itself? Well...it’s…”fine.” Therein lies the rub. While the ‘Lifestyle’ job has a host of fantastic benefits for your health and well-being, it also isn’t moving you forwards: You aren’t creatively pushed outside your comfort zone The work is pretty easy (and sometimes feels downright boring) You aren’t learning new skills You aren’t expanding your professional network You aren’t particularly proud of the work and perhaps hesitate to tell other people what you’re working on (or you hide it on your resume altogether) There are many people who would happily work a ‘Lifestyle’ job the remainder of their careers carefree. But if the words safe, reliable, and dependable bore you to death, what’s next? The ‘Career’ Job Unlike the two previous job types, the ‘Career’ job is propelling you forwards at light speed and has a host of benefits: You are pushed outside your creative comfort zone and growing every day You are learning new technical skills You are meeting new people and expanding your professional network You are building your resume and proud to share what you’re working on Your current project might even be a total “resume-changer” While the ‘Career’ job sounds like a dream in many ways, it’s far from being a ‘Dream’ job and has its own laundry list of drawbacks: You may have reduced your rate in exchange for experience (you might even be working for free) The hours are grueling and you barely have any time to manage life outside of work You are sacrificing time with your family and friends The commute totally sucks You are stressed out and constantly exhausted Your waning creativity often needs to be fueled by caffeine and energy drinks Despite being a fantastic opportunity, a ‘Career’ job can only sustain for so long before it too leads to chronic health problems, mental health issues, and eventually total burnout. There must be an alternative to choosing between either a healthy lifestyle or a successful career, right? RIGHT?????? The ‘Dream’ Job The ‘Dream’ job is the top rung of the ladder. It has all the benefits of both the ‘Lifestyle’ and ‘Career’ jobs but with none of the shortcomings: You love your work You are creatively learning and growing every day You are always meeting new people and building your network The job and the work environment are both stress-free You love your co-workers The commute is amazing The pay is well beyond your basic needs The hours are awesome and you have plenty of time off during the year for vacations You are proud of the work you do every day and love sharing it with others You can’t imagine doing anything else It’s extremely rare to find your ‘Dream’ job. Most people assume it will always be just that...a dream...and no amount of hard work can guarantee success. What if instead of relying on “more hustle,” “putting your nose to the grindstone,” or “wearing your sleep deprivation badge of honor” there was a completely different factor that ultimately determined whether or not you landed your ‘Dream’ job and enjoyed the journey along the way? The (Not-so-Secret) Secret to Success Notice I don’t categorize specific job titles into the four different types listed above. That isn’t by accident...that is by design. For example, I don’t classify “Janitor, intern, assistant, accountant, or PA” as ‘Paycheck’ jobs. Conversely I also don’t classify “Director, editor, writer, or studio executive” as either ‘Career’ jobs or ‘Dream’ jobs. Most people would assume an assistant who fetches coffee and dry cleaning must be working a ‘Paycheck’ job because the hours are long, the duties are downright miserable, and the quality of life sucks. But if that assistant works in an environment that fosters growth and there are networking opportunities, simply by recognizing the benefits that come along with that position, it has instantly upgraded to a ‘Career’ job. On the flip side, it’s also conceivable that despite directing $200 million studio feature films for a living, you aren’t working your ‘Dream’ job, instead you simply have a ‘Paycheck’ job (see: Michael Bay). Ultimately the only factor that determines which job type you have is the mindset you bring to it every single day. Several years back I reached a shocking point in my career I never anticipated. After editing four seasons of Burn Notice, nobody wanted to hire me. I couldn’t find another editing job anywhere. I assumed after working on a hit show I’d never have to look for work again, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. After several months of unemployment a referral from a colleague ended up landing me a job on a new show called Black Box, a medical procedural for ABC (with no recognizable stars). Never heard of ‘Black Box’? Don’t worry, neither has anyone else. If there’s one thing I have no interest in editing (ever), it’s a medical procedural. But here I was needing a steady income with zero other opportunities available. I knew at that moment if I was going to spend the next six months of my life doing creative work I had no interest in whatsoever, I had to shift my perspective for the sake of my mental health. There was no question that Black Box was not my ‘Dream’ job. Given the hours were long, it was a stressful first season show, and the commute sucked, it most certainly wasn’t a ‘Lifestyle’ job. And at first glance for me personally it definitely wasn’t a ‘Career’ job because I wasn’t interested in working on a medical show. So I guess I had to suck it up and accept that Black Box was just a ‘Paycheck’ job, right? Punch in...do the bare minimum...punch out. Easy enough. If I could narrow down the turning point of my entire career to one single moment, this was the moment. As I sat in the parking lot my first morning at Black Box I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and I told myself the number one goal of this job opportunity was to expand my professional network. That became my “One Thing.” I consistently delivered great work every single day because I was confident that doing great work would lead to the opportunity to do more great work in the future. Expanding my professional network required me to do excellent work every single day so the directors, producers, and show runners would want to work with me on future projects. Even though I wasn’t creatively interested in a medical procedural, I consistently delivered great work every single day because I was confident that doing great work would lead to the opportunity to do more great work in the future. This single shift in perspective on day one of what could have been a dead-end ‘Paycheck’ job led me to editing two seasons of Empire (Ilene Chaiken was the showrunner of Black Box who then became the showrunner of Empire). This single shift in perspective also led to editing three seasons of Shooter because the post-production producer loved working with me and wanted me on all of her future teams. And this single shift in perspective has led to three different offers to edit tv pilots and a Netflix series because the creator of Black Box and one of the directors loved my work as well. It wasn’t my ability to use Avid, my skills as a film editor, or resting on the laurels of my resume that landed me five seasons of editing work. I landed five seasons of editing work because of my attitude. Better opportunities will not lead to a better attitude. Having a better attitude will lead to better opportunities. Learn more about the importance of attitude in my interview with with Oscar-winning editor Billy Goldenberg, ACE. Now It’s Your Turn Working in a creative field can be incredibly frustrating because there’s no guarantee the effort you put in every single day will pay off...ever. It’s conceivable that after 4 years of undergrad, 3 years earning a master’s degree, post-graduate internships and entry-level jobs, and yet another several years of mid-level jobs that you still end up becoming a real estate agent or insurance salesman. While there’s no guarantee that you’ll become a feature film director after ten years of hard work like the guarantee doctors have, the one thing you can control is your attitude. Perspective is everything. If you’re working an entry-level job and hating every minute of it, instead of focusing on the things you’re not doing, try focusing instead on what you can learn from the things you are doing. If you’re doing the type of job you want but working on projects you absolutely hate, think about how bringing the best version of your craft to the table every single day can lead to lasting relationships and future projects you will absolutely love. If you’re bored at your current job because it doesn’t challenge you, focus on all of the lifestyle benefits you get from working close to home with co-workers you love with a steady paycheck and some ‘fun money’ to spare. And if after examining every facet of your current job you can find absolutely no benefits whatsoever outside of the fact that it allows you to pay the bills every month... ...maybe it’s time to pull the plug.

Ilene Chaiken has been a showrunner for TV hits like Fox’s Empire, an executive producer for Hulu’s The Handmaid's Tale, and a writer, producer, and director for Showtime’s The L Word in the mid-2000s. In other words, she’s a boss. “I don’t like the word that much,” Chaiken said on Nerdette. “I mean, I like it as in, ‘Oh, she’s a boss.’ You know, ‘She’s a badass. She’s a boss.’ But I don’t like the kind of hierarchical aspect of it.” Chaiken talked with Nerdette co-hosts Tricia Bobeda and Greta Johnsen about the upcoming reboot of The L Word, her recently greenlit pilot project with Fox, and about how she became a boss. She also had some important homework for you: “I want to know who hasn’t seen herself — and I’ll just make it gendered — who hasn’t seen herself represented on television, and what would she like to see?”If you’ve got an answer, tweet them to @NerdettePodcast and @IleneChaiken.
Ilene Chaiken, the creator of “The L Word” and showrunner for “Empire,” talks with Recode’s Kara Swisher at the 2017 edition of Werk It, WNYC’s women-in-podcasting festival. Chaiken explains how she got “The L Word” made at Showtime, even though the network initially laughed at the idea of a show about lesbians in Hollywood, and how became executive producer of the hit Hulu series “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which she had tried to adapt for years. Now in an exclusive deal at 20th Century Fox, Chaiken says the massive reach of broadcast TV is still an important cultural force, and predicts that the digital platforms like Amazon, Hulu, Netflix and Apple will take turns being big award winners.
