Podcasts about showrunners

Dean Lorey.Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Dean Lorey. Dean is a screenwriter for such films as 'Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday' (Friday the 13th part 9), and 'Major Payne' as well as TV shows 'Arrested Development' & 'The Crazy Ones'. He has also been the show runner for shows like 'Harley Quinn' the animated series, 'Kite Man: Hell Yeah!', and 'Creature Commandos'. In this episode, Dean and I chat about how he got into screenwriting, and he shares some of his experiences on his early projects. Naturally we discuss how he came to write 'Fitness Confidential' with Vinnie Tortorich and Dean shares some hilarious Vinnie stories. Then we each share our own personal stories of the moment that we each found out that we are bald. Next, we jump into Dean's experiences writing the Damon Wayans vehicle 'Major Payne' and a possible upcoming sequel. Then, we talk about the television show 'The Crazy Ones' and what it was like to meet and work with an American icon like Robin Williams. I ask a ton of questions about how Dean was able to juggle working on FOUR shows at the same time. Dean was working on: 'Harley Quinn', 'Kite Man', 'Creature Commandos', and 'Poppa's House' all at the same time! Finally, we close out the show discussing Dean's involvement with the television show 'Arrested Development' in the later seasons, one thing we did not talk about this time, is Dean's 'ONE THING' series of videos on Instagram, where he discusses 'One Thing' he learned while making TV & film projects. Definitely go check out this new and fun series on Dean's Instagram account. It will be worth the watch, I promise!

Cassie serves as co-showrunner, executive producer, and writer on LUCKY, the pulse-pounding limited series adaptation led by Anya Taylor-Joy. Based on the New York Times bestselling novel of the same name, the series follows Lucky – a con artist who is forced to go on the run when a multimillion-dollar heist goes sideways. Previously, Cassie served as writer and co-executive producer on the first two seasons of the critically acclaimed Apple TV series SILO, working alongside Graham Yost. She also wrote and co-executive produced Netflix's GRISELDA, which became the platform's No. 1 series in 90 countries during its first week of release. Additional credits include FX's TYRANT, and she began her television career on Showtime's groundbreaking drama THE L WORD. In this interview, we talk about her early work as a writer's assistant on THE L WORD, writing strong female leads and female perspectives, collaborating with Graham Yost on SILO, her new series LUCKY, and much more.

Showrunner Oren Uziel and director of photography Darran Tiernan join us to discuss how Prime Video's “Spider-Noir” was designed, shot, and finished for two distinct visual versions at once: “Authentic Black & White” and “True-Hue Full Color.” They break down the creative and technical challenges of building both looks simultaneously, from old-school noir influences to modern custom LUTs, as well as the enormous collaboration required across the camera, lighting, production design, costumes, makeup, and visual effects departments."Nothing was brought to set that hadn't been looked at already through both LUTs... It's measure twice, cut once. This was prep twice, shoot once."—Oren Uziel, Executive Producer and Showrunner, “Spider-Noir”Be sure to check out “Spider-Noir,” now streaming on Prime Video, in both black & white and color, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts, now available as a video podcast on YouTube and Spotify!Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

Kevin Wade is a screenwriter and show-runner, behind some of the biggest films and series of recent times. After acting for a bit, he started off penning Off-Broadway plays. Kevin moved on to write on 'Working Girl', 'Meet Joe Black', 'Maid in Manhattan', before getting huge success as the exec producer and showrunner for most of the 'Blue Bloods' series. The show was a police procedural starring Tom Selleck. It ran for years, and meant Kevin and his team needed to write over 20 mysteries a season, that individually wrapped up and all contributed towards the overall was series arc.His debut novel, 'Johnny Careless', was nominated for an Edgar Award, and he's followed that up with 'One Good Eye'. It tells the story of Police Chief Jeep Mullane, who sets off on a lonely and dangerous path to find out who attacked one of his oldest, closest friends.We discuss the marathon of writing 20+ episodes of a show every year, and learning to hit the beats and fit the format of network television. Also you can hear why he ditched the initial idea for the novel, and why a fire isn't really exciting.Get a copy of the book - uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineSupport the show - patreon.com/writersroutineko-fi.com/writersroutineFind the newsletter - writersroutine.substack.com@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

Music Video for The Stairs: https://youtu.be/-9FOYTwxfcU?si=mFPQVDCKASBR1oFuLive from Wembley Stadium: https://youtu.be/N8CIBNJB2FM?si=sF_SoLZtDrzyaszvThere's a kind of loneliness that has nothing to do with being alone.You can live surrounded by hundreds—or thousands—of people, pass the same faces every day, share elevators, hallways, sidewalks and city blocks…and never truly know one another.  This week on The Songs That Made Us, Gunter explores INXS' “The Stairs,” a haunting meditation on the anonymous lives unfolding around us and the strange human experience of being physically close while remaining emotionally separate.Through the song, Gunter examines the psychology of loneliness, our biological need for connection, the phenomenon of “familiar strangers,” and the surprising role architecture and urban design play in determining whether people simply pass one another—or actually meet.And more than three decades after The Stairs appeared on INXS' X, its observations may be even more relevant in a digital world that gives us unprecedented proximity while often leaving genuine human connection painfully out of reach.In This EpisodeThe story and ideas behind INXS' “The Stairs”Why loneliness can exist even when we're surrounded by peopleLoneliness as a biological signal rather than a personal failingThe evolutionary importance of human connectionThe psychology of the “familiar stranger”How urban environments can create proximity without interactionSocial infrastructure and the spaces where relationships formWhy cities designed primarily for movement can unintentionally discourage connectionPsychological overload and why we sometimes withdraw from people around usHow digital environments reproduce the same paradoxWhy The Stairs remains strikingly relevant todaySmall acts of recognition that can begin closing the distance between strangersChapter HighlightsIntroduction: The Stairs and the Loneliness of Being SurroundedINXS and the Album XThe Psychological Need to BelongSocial Overload in Urban EnvironmentsLoneliness as a Biological SignalWaiting, Recognition and the Structure of The StairsHow Urban Design Shapes Human ConnectionFrom Physical Cities to Digital LonelinessProximity Without ConnectionSmall Acts That Bridge the DistanceSharing Our Experiences of LonelinessKey TakeawaysLoneliness is a signal. Like hunger or pain, it can alert us that an important human need isn't being met.Proximity isn't the same as connection. We can encounter the same people repeatedly without ever crossing the invisible boundary between stranger and acquaintance.Our environments matter. The spaces we build can either encourage spontaneous human contact or quietly discourage it.The digital world hasn't eliminated this paradox. In some ways, it has recreated the apartment building on a global scale: millions of people occupying the same space while remaining strangers.Connection can begin remarkably small. Recognition, conversation and simple acknowledgment can interrupt anonymity.GratitudeWe want to extend a huge thank you to our listeners in Fairborn, Elyria (uh-lee-ree-uh), Columbus, Grafton, Northfield, Lorain, Ashland, and Cincinnati for keeping Ohio securely at the #2 spot on the Top 10 USA listeners list.And to our Global Listeners, we extend our gratitude to two countries reaching our top 20 list for the very first time ever!

Message Dan and MikeWe're back with part two of our San Diego Comic-Con recap, picking up where we left off on day two and carrying through to our final thoughts on the whole experience. This time we get into the chaos of Hall H, including a wristband standoff that turned into a two-hour, half-mile trek around the building just to get denied entry — twice. We also break down the panels that delivered and the ones that didn't: Lanterns surprised us with how much footage HBO was willing to show, the Spaceballs panel gave us a genuinely fun hour with Josh Gad, Rick Moranis, and Daphne Zuniga, and Collider's Showrunners on Showrunning brought out heavy hitters like Greg Daniels and Damon Lindelof. On the flip side, the Simpsons panel turned out to be one of the biggest letdowns of the weekend, with no voice cast in sight — though the one clip they did show us, imagining a world where Homer and Marge never met, ended up being a genuine highlight.We also talk about a memorable, unplanned panel with Ashley Eckstein, our In-N-Out Burger verdict after years without a real hamburger, and the strange logistics failures that plagued the entire convention, from the trolley system to a parking garage that seemed built for a fraction of the actual crowd. Along the way we cover some of our favorite cosplay of the trip, a touching moment with Sergeant Slaughter in the autograph line, and the small personal wins that made the trip worth it, including meeting Judith O'Dea and catching wind of the Johnny Depp Ebenezer Scrooge reveal that had the internet buzzing all week.We close things out with an honest, no-holds-barred recommendation on whether Comic-Con is actually worth attending, plus a look ahead at the box office moment we're in right now, with the Odyssey and Spider-Man both performing well and Avengers on the horizon. It's a candid, occasionally chaotic wrap-up of a trip that gave us plenty to talk about.Follow us on Instagram, and catch us on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever else you listen.Support the showOh Brother Podcast:Support the Show!

Season two of Netflix's anthology series “Beef” received 16 Emmy Award® nominations, including recognition for its bold cinematography and meticulously crafted sound. In this conversation, creator, showrunner, writer, director, and executive producer Lee Sung Jin — who also goes by Sonny Lee — joins members of his creative team to discuss how they gave the second season its own distinct identity while still retaining the DNA of the show. “The dialogue is kind of musical in a way. We are chasing these rises and falls to land a joke or a dramatic moment. And we all collectively feel it. And so that's what's great is that I think most teams would be like, ‘Sonny, you're crazy. You don't need to spend any more hours on this.' But they're like, ‘Ugh, you know what? We know what you mean and it can be a little bit better.' … I think whether in the mix, or with James [Laxton] in color [grading], what I love about this team is that we want it to be perfect. And it's really hard to do that on TV time and TV resources.” —Lee Sung Jin, Creator, Showrunner, Writer, Director, and Executive Producer, “Beef” Joining Lee Sung Jin for this conversation about “Beef” season 2: - James Laxton, ASC – Director of Photography - Christopher Gomez, MPSE – Supervising Sound Editor - Penny Harold, CAS – Re-recording Mixer - Andy Lange, CAS – Re-recording Mixer Be sure to check out “Beef,” now streaming on Netflix in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.

There was no reason to make another polite, faithful version of “Cape Fear.” Thankfully, Creator/Showrunner Nick Antosca had no interest in one.Apple TV's “Cape Fear” is sweaty, violent, emotionally ugly, and pitched somewhere between a domestic thriller and a full-blown hyper-violent fever dream. The show takes the basic machinery of the 1962 film and Martin Scorsese's operatic 1991 remake, pulls it apart, and rebuilds it as a ten-hour nightmare about privilege, resentment, marriage and the strange gravitational pull of a charismatic monster.Or, as Antosca rather happily described it during his recent appearance on The Playlist's Bingeworthy podcast, “It is the lurid nightmare that we set out to make.”Mission accomplished!

What happens when the voice you're arguing with belongs to someone you love—and eventually becomes part of your own?In this episode of The Songs That Made Us, Gunter explores Cat Stevens' timeless classic Father and Son, uncovering the remarkable psychological conversation hidden inside one of the most enduring songs ever written.Originally conceived for an abandoned musical project, Father and Son became something much larger: a dialogue between generations, identities, and ultimately, different versions of ourselves.Through psychology, culture, and music history, Gunter examines why the song continues to resonate more than fifty years later—and why its two voices may both live within us.In this episodeThe story behind Cat Stevens' Father and SonThe autobiographical myths surrounding the songSinging both father and son from a single voiceThe psychology of internal dialogueIdentity formation and individuationAttachment and separationFamily expectations across generationsMigration, culture, and belongingMasculinity and emotional languageWhy reconciliation sometimes takes decadesThe 2020 recording and what changed over fifty yearsChapter HighlightsIntroduction: The Power of a Solo PerformanceThe Song as a Conversation with OneselfWho Are We Really Arguing With?Cat Stevens' Early Life and Musical RootsPolitical and Personal InfluencesIllness, Recovery, and Creative TransformationFrom Rejected Song to Timeless ClassicSinging Both Father and SonThe Psychology of the Dialogic SelfIdentity, Individuation, and Growing UpAttachment, Separation, and Family BondsMasculinity and Emotional ExpressionMigration, Culture, and Generational ExpectationsRecognition, Transformation, and ReconciliationWhy Father and Son Still EnduresRevisiting the Song in 2020Reflection QuestionsClosing ThoughtsKey TakeawaysIdentity develops through dialogue. The conversations we have with parents often become the conversations we continue having with ourselves. Growing up isn't simply breaking away. Healthy independence balances autonomy with enduring connection.Internal voices shape our decisions. The father and son represent psychological perspectives many people carry throughout life.Reconciliation can arrive decades later. Time changes not only our understanding of others, but our understanding of ourselves.Great songs evolve because we evolve. The meaning of Father and Son changes as listeners move through different stages of life.Reflection QuestionsWhich voice in the song feels closest to where you are today?When have you discovered your younger self and older self disagreeing?What family message still shapes the way you make important decisions?What advice have you rejected, only to understand years later?How do you remain connected without losing yourself?GratitudeWe want to extend a huge thank you to our listeners in Tillamook (TILL-uh-muck) for bringing Oregon to #10 on the Top 10 USA listeners list!

This week, we sat down with writer, producer, and showrunner Nick Antosca, the creator behind the shows Channel Zero, The Act, Brand New Cherry Flavor, and the new Apple TV+ series Cape Fear, whose season finale just aired. Nick shared how Jaws and Night of the Living Dead first introduced him to horror as a child and also gave us a behind-the-scenes look at what a showrunner actually does. We also discussed Cape Fear and how he reimagined the iconic story for modern audiences, reinvented Max Cady with Javier Bardem in the role, and approached the adaptation. And of course, Nick shared some great horror recommendations that every fan should check out. This was an awesome conversation about adaptation and the creative process behind some incredible horror projects, sooo… COME HANG OUT!!!

Music Video for Marvin Gaye's What's Going On? https://youtu.be/o5TmORitlKk?si=tp-xjNHA4yQ0CYpOWhat happens when we ask a question—not because we expect an answer, but because we need someone to remain with us inside the uncertainty?In this episode of The Songs That Made Us, Gunter explores Marvin Gaye's landmark recording, What's Going On, and the psychological power of a song that responds to violence, war, injustice, and collective grief without becoming hardened by them.Born from an act of violence witnessed during the People's Park demonstrations and shaped by the experiences of returning Vietnam veterans, the song challenged both Marvin Gaye's artistic identity and the limits Motown placed upon its artists.Rather than accusing, commanding, or offering easy answers, What's Going On asks us to stay present with suffering long enough to feel it.Gunter examines how the song creates recognition, belonging, empathy, and reconciliation; how it reflects the moral distress carried by returning soldiers; and why its tenderness has allowed it to remain meaningful for more than fifty years.Sometimes the most honest response to pain is not an answer. Sometimes it is a question held open in the company of others.In this episodeThe story behind Marvin Gaye's What's Going OnHow violence at People's Park helped inspire the songMarvin Gaye's struggle to move beyond romantic popHis brother Frankie's return from the Vietnam WarBarry Gordy's resistance to releasing the recordHow overlapping vocals created an internal conversationThe psychological concept of moral injuryRecognition, belonging, reconciliation, and empathyWhy the song chooses grief rather than rageThe power of remaining present without rushing toward answersWhy some questions endure longer than accusationsKey takeawaysA question can create connection.Unlike a statement, a question requires another person. It turns distress into relationship and invites the listener to feel alongside the speaker.Grief and rage are not interchangeable.Anger may restore agency, but sorrow can sometimes reveal the deeper truth of an experience.Uncertainty can be emotionally productive.The song refuses to resolve its central question, asking listeners to tolerate doubt instead of reaching too quickly for certainty.Tenderness is not weakness.Marvin Gaye confronts catastrophe without becoming contemptuous, allowing the song to remain open, humane, and widely accessible.People often feel pain before they can explain it.A song that remains at the level of the question can meet listeners in the wordless space before understanding arrives.“We return to the song not for answers, but for company.”— Gunter SwobodaGratitudeWe want to extend a huge thank you to our listeners in Jackson for bringing Mississippi to #10 on the Top 10 USA listeners list and for the first time ever making it to our Top 20 Global Listener's list and securing their position, we celebrate our listeners in Hanoi and Ho Chi Mihn City for bringing Vietnam up to #11 as well as to our listeners in Lora del Rio for bringing Spain to #17!  Lastly a special congrats to Spain for their World Cup Win!

Amongst the chatter about this surprisingly layered and twisty film, Rob and Molls also touch on topics like locking eyes with a rival during a moment of unspeakable tragedy and chaos, accommodating a cat's desires in a coyote-heavy city, the breakup advice Rob once gave Molly, and Skyrizzi.  From IMDb: A lawyer (Stephanie Zimbalist) turns private investigator when her doctor-husband holds himself responsible for the death of a patient.

What does real hope sound like?This week on The Songs That Made Us, Gunter explores Sam Cooke's timeless masterpiece A Change Is Gonna Come—a song born from personal injustice, the Civil Rights Movement, and an unwavering belief that change is possible even when there is little evidence to support it.Rather than offering easy optimism, Cook's song reveals a deeper psychological truth: hope isn't something we simply feel—it's something we choose.Drawing from history, psychology, and the remarkable story behind one of the most influential songs ever recorded, Gunter explores why this song continues to resonate across generations.In this episode:• The story behind Sam Cooke's most personal recording• How Bob Dylan helped inspire a musical turning point• The psychology of hope versus optimism• Why restraint gives the song its emotional power• How personal suffering became a universal anthem• Why lasting change often begins before we can see evidence of itSometimes hope isn't loud.  Sometimes hope simply refuses to disappear.Key TopicsSam Cooke's creative turning pointThe Civil Rights MovementHope versus optimismPsychological resilienceEmotional regulationMusic as social transformationHistorical context and storytellingPersonal suffering becoming collective hopeKey TakeawaysHope is strongest when it acknowledges reality rather than avoiding it.Optimism and hope are not the same psychological process.Restraint can communicate more powerfully than emotional intensity.Music can become larger than the life of the artist who created it.Small acts of perseverance often become catalysts for lasting change.Sound Bites"Hope isn't a feeling. It's a stance.""Real hope keeps its eyes open.""The strongest hope is built while facing the truth.""Change begins long before we can see it.""Some songs don't comfort us—they strengthen us."Topic InsightsWelcome to Songs That Made UsWhy Sam Cooke Wrote A Change Is Gonna ComeThe Power of Musical RestraintHope Without ProofA Song That Outlived Its CreatorHope vs. OptimismThe Hardest Kind of HopeGratitudeWe want to extend a huge thank you to our listeners in Tacoma and Seattle for bringing Washington to #4 on the Top 10 USA listeners list.

Hollywood has rules. Unwritten ones. And the most dangerous rule of all? There's only one sin that can end your career — and it's not what you think. Rasheed Newson knows the industry from the inside out. As a television drama writer, producer, and showrunner, he co-developed Bel-Air and left his fingerprints on some of the most critically acclaimed series of the past decade — The Chi, Animal Kingdom, Narcos. Now he's telling the truth about Tinseltown in a way only historical fiction can: his novel, There's Only One Sin in Hollywood. Dr. Nii-Quartelai Quartey sits down with Newson for a conversation about power, storytelling, and what it really costs to survive — and thrive — in one of the most cutthroat industries in the world. Is his story ripped from the headlines? Or are the headlines catching up to his pages? You decide.

Edward Saatchi has been building at the frontier of AI storytelling for a decade—from Oculus Story Studios to Fable (where his AI character Lucy made her own films at Sundance) to his current venture, Amazon-backed Showrunner. Edward's most audacious project proves the point: reconstructing Orson Welles' lost masterpiece, The Magnificent Ambersons (44 minutes destroyed by studio cuts in 1942), using motion-capture actors and AI to seamlessly restore what was erased. The irony is intentional—it's a film about technology destroying beauty, restored by technology. Edward's approach isn't text-to-video slop. It's human performance driving AI synthesis: hire stage actors, capture their performances, use the original cutting continuity as a blueprint, and let AI fill the gaps. The result is cinema-quality work that would cost $100 million traditionally but costs $10 million with AI assistance.In AI XR News This Week:Amazon announces 16,000 layoffs while ramping robotics—replacing humans with machines in warehouses.

It's remix, interactivity, and personalization at scale—letting audiences co-create with AI while creators get paid. His challenge to the industry: hold yourself to "derivative but better" (can you make a better Simpsons episode than the last 15 seasons?) or "original and good" (something from a non-human intelligence's perspective). Until creators band together to make features and TV shows with commercial value, AI video will remain stuck in the trough of disillusionment.This episode is brought to you by Zappar, creators of Mattercraft—the leading visual development environment for building immersive 3D web experiences for mobile headsets and desktop.

"The Boys" is an American satirical superhero streaming television series developed by Eric Kripke for Amazon Prime Video.

The story focuses on Hughie Campbell (Jack Quaid), a young electronics clerk, and Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), a former SAS and CIA operative, who work together with the rest of the Boys against "The Seven," Vought's premier superhero team, led by the power-hungry Homelander (Antony Starr).

On Your World of Creativity, we travel around the world talking with creative leaders who turn ideas into impact.Last time Aurora Winter joined us, we explored her book Turn Words Into Wealth. Now she's back with a bold new message: 2026 is “do or die” for experts and entrepreneurs. Today we're diving into her newest release, Brand Strategy in the Age of AI — and what it takes to build a valuable, future-proof brand in an AI-powered world.Aurora Winter is a bestselling author, brand strategist, and former TV executive producer who helps experts and entrepreneurs turn their message into money. With a background in storytelling and showrunning, she's guided thousands of leaders to create influential, scalable brands.Aurora's WebsiteAurora on YouTube@aurorawintermba on InstagramHer new book, Brand Strategy in the Age of AI, tackles one urgent question: Will AI replace you — or amplify you?1 — Why 2026 Is “Do or Die”Aurora, last time we spoke about turning words into wealth. Now you're saying that 2026 is a “do or die” moment for experts and entrepreneurs. That's strong language. What's happening right now that makes this moment so critical?What are you seeing that most leaders are underestimating about AI's impact on branding and visibility?2 — Catching the AI Wave (Without Being Replaced)There's a lot of fear in the market right now — will AI replace writers, coaches, strategists, consultants? From your perspective, how can entrepreneurs catch the AI wave and profit rather than get wiped out by it?You talk about four human superpowers that AI can't replicate. What are they — and how do they translate into a valuable brand? Your story; your presence; your sense of style; your leadership approach.3 — The Visibility Imperative (Why Video Matters)You've said leaders who skip video are training the market to ignore them. That's provocative. Why is video so essential in the AI era?How does the “movie trailer mindset” help leaders grab attention in a crowded digital landscape?4 — Think Like a ShowrunnerYou come from television and production, and now you're applying what you call the “Netflix Framework” — thinking like a showrunner to build binge-worthy content. What does that mean for a founder or expert building a brand?You also mention leveraging a “fractional Showrunner.” What is that role, and why might it be the missing piece for scaling a powerful personal brand?5 — Early Adopters Win (How to Be One)You've said that early adopters with the right brand strategy are going to crush it in 2026. What does “the right strategy” actually look like?If someone listening feels behind, what's one move they can make this month to position themselves as an amplified expert rather than an invisible one?We explored all these themes:• AI as amplifier, not enemy• Human superpowers as differentiator• Showrunner thinking for strategic visibility• Brand as intellectual property• Early adoption as leverage

Reposted from The Handmaid's Tale Podcast: The Testaments, which you can find and subscribe to at: https://podcastica.com/podcast/the-handmaids-tale-podcast  — What a thrill to once again talk to Bruce Miller, showrunner of The Testaments! His enthusiasm for the material is clear and infectious, and we hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did. Among other things, Bruce talked about: Why Gilead is terrified of teenage girls Rowan Blanchard's performance as Shunammite, and why he thinks viewers eventually came around on the character Lydia's motivations, including whether she really believed she was protecting the women of Gilead The brutal stadium flashback, and the challenge of adapting such disturbing material without making viewers turn away What Agnes remembers about her mother, and how Gilead may have manipulated the memories of stolen children The cameos from Handmaid's Tale characters, and whether he thinks more of The Handmaid's Tale cast would want to return The visual storytelling of the series, from production design and costumes to color and cinematography Why we saw so little red this season What it was like working with the remarkable young cast Some intriguing hints about season two, including character backstories and a possible Gilead road trip And a lot more!
