Today we chat with Mark Putnam, a national media strategist and ad maker for over three decades, and founder of the media firm Putnam Partners. His work bridges the political and non-political worlds, serving as one of President Obama's lead ad makers and the lead ad maker for President Biden's "Unite the Country" super PAC, as well as helping elect 11 governors, 10 U.S. senators and dozens of members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Mark has created some of the most talked-about political advertising campaigns of the last decade, including the "Background Checks" TV ad featuring U.S. Senate candidate Jason Kander assembling an AR-15 assault weapon while blindfolded that Politico called "the most memorable ad of 2016." Mark's viral video for congressional candidate and former CIA operative Valerie Plame was likened to a "spy thriller campaign ad" by Slate Magazine. Mark also produced advertising to help elect Doug Jones in the 2017 Alabama special election for U.S. Senate. Mark's advertising for breakout congressional candidate and Internet phenomenon Amy McGrath set the standard for viral political advertising in 2018 - earning millions of YouTube views and sparking dozens of national news stories. Mark's firm also helped elect 16 new members of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018 – more wins than any other Democratic media firm - and helped re-elect 12 incumbents in 2020, ranging from 10 U.S. Representatives, the Governor of North Carolina and the Mayor of Richmond, VA. Mark's highest profile project was creating Barack Obama's 2008 election eve 30-minute television special that aired simultaneously on seven networks and was viewed by over 35 million people. The Washington Post television critic Tom Shales called it "somehow both poetic and practical, spiritual and sensible... a montage of montages, a series of seamlessly blended segments." https://www.putnampartners.net/ https://www.vimeo.com/putnampartners  

Home schooling is now America's fastest growing form of education, but Washington Post reporter Peter Jamison tells Dave Davies, "It's remarkable how little oversight there is of home-schooled children." Also, we remember TV critic Tom Shales.

Bestselling author Curtis Sittenfeld joins co-hosts V.V. Ganeshananthan and Whitney Terrell to discuss her new novel, Romantic Comedy, which begins behind the scenes at a television show similar to Saturday Night Live, where a female comedy writer is gobsmacked that her schlubby straight male co-workers keep dating famous women seemingly out of their league. Sittenfeld discusses dating up, women in the workplace, and the similarities between SNL and the Iowa Writers Workshop. Sittenfeld and Ganeshananthan crack up while reading from Romantic Comedy, and Sittenfeld discusses the surprising turn in her heroine's love life, the complications of writing sex scenes, and how she dealt with the pressure to be funny when describing comedians.  To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

Stef and Gilda discuss SNL years 2002-2008...which includes dueling Palins, a former cast member saying gross things about Lindsay Lohan, and an audition story that will give you the WORST secondhand embarrassment.Part Seven of Live From New York: The Complete, Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live as Told by Its Stars Writers, and Guests, edited by James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales.https://www.satnighthighpod.com/https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780316295048

This week Val and Rachel discuss The Heights, an American musical drama series that aired Thursday at 9:00 pm on the Fox network from August to November 1992. The Heights centered on a fictional band (also called The Heights) made up of mostly working-class young adults. Episodes regularly featured one of their songs.   The eventual theme song for the show, "How Do You Talk to an Angel" (sung by cast member Jamie Walters), went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and was the first song from a television show to top the Hot 100 since 1985, as well as the first song by a fictional band to top the Hot 100 since 1969. The Heights premiered on August 27, 1992, to low ratings, and never gained a substantial audience. Fox canceled the series less than a week after the theme song fell from the number one spot. Hot Topics Include: 1.) Holiday Birthdays 2.) Halloween Date Drama 3.) Val and Rachel disagree! 4.) Tom Shales' scathing TV review of The Heights 5.) Offscreen Suburb Drama at Rachel's House 6.) Song clip from "Natalie O, She's Pretty" 7.) Comparisons to Melrose Place and Thirtysomething 8.) Jamie Walters post-Hollywood career pivots    WARNING: Rachel sings a LOT in this one.   Most episodes available on YouTube.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heights_(American_TV_series)
