Synopsis

The definitive insider's guide to our current golden age of television, Ben Blacker's The Writers Panel is an ever expanding anthology of live convention panels and intimate in-studio interviews with the writers, producers, and show runners responsible for all the shows you can't stop watching. Over the course of nearly 400 episodes and counting, The Writers Panel has sat across from guests such as Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad), Amy Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele (Key and Peele), Liz Meriwether (New Girl), and Damon Lindelof (Lost, The Leftovers) to talk about the art and business of creating great television.

  • Writers Panel Throwback: Breaking Bad Season 5 In Review

    25/02/2020 Duration: 01h17min

    Better Call Saul is back! The new season began this week on AMC. What better time to revisit co-creator/showrunner Peter Gould, co-creator Vince Gilligan, writer/producers Thomas Schnauz and Gordon Smith, along with then-Breaking Bad writer/producers George Mastras, Sam Catlin, Gennifer Hutchison, and Moira Walley-Beckett as they looked back at the pivotal penultimate season of Breaking Bad in 2012? The Bad/Saul rooms have been instructive and fascinating, changing very little in their process of over ten years of making incredible television. Lots to learn here.

But the nascent genre has finally been validated with the arrival of its very own satirical takedown.  At less than 10 minutes a day, there is no reasonable excuse for not listening to The Topical.  From the successful cloning of God by Vatican scientists to the release of Starbucks’ new $7 wake-up slap, The Topical will cover news large and small. Premiering January 29, you can find The Topical in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, PodNow, NowPod, PodLater, PostPod, PodPod or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
