Bri Castellini and Chris Cherry are at It Again – @brisownworld

TVWriter™ pal Bri Castellini and Bri Castellini pal Chris Cherry clearly don’t have enough to do. In addition to their web series Sam and Pat are Depressed, their podcast, Bri and Chris are Depressed, and all their individual projects, they’ve taken on something new.

Their new show also is a podcast, this time one with an absolutely insane premise. It’s called Burn, Noticed and here’s how they describe it:

Burn, Noticed is an episode-by-episode discussion and deconstruction of the USA television series Burn Notice. Co-created and co-hosted by myself and Chris Cherry. This podcast is currently in development and will launch its first full episode on July 22nd, 2019. Burn, Noticed is available on Spotify and, soon, iTunes. read article

Have You Been Listening to the Narada Radio Company?

As regular TVWriter™ visitors surely must know by now, we’re huge fans of audio drama AKA audio series. (How come nobody ever refers to it as audio comedy? Huh?)

In fact, we’re so fanatical about it that we actually created a special PEOPLE’S PILOT 2019 entry fee of only $25 a pop, plus special prizes for top scoring entries for both audio series and web series. (Yes, this is a shameless plug. Not sorry about that at all.)

Meanwhile, back at the point of this post: We’ve been listening to mucho  audio series lately and are here today to suggest that y’all do too. We also suggest that a good place to begin your immersion in this media is via Narada Radio Company, where you’ll find a selection that…well, that set this TVWriter™ minion’s imagination on fire. And it just may do the same thing for you. read article

Productivity Info We Sure as Hell Hope isn’t True

Ageism is the irrational exclusion of people of a certain age (or, if you will people beyond a certain age) from employment, right? And all of us, including this particular TVWriter™ minion, who is well over TV writing’s oft-discussed age limit of 40, agree that ageism is discriminatory, unjustified, and needs to be stopped, right?

But what if it is justified? I mean, WTF?

9 Famous Writers Ripping Other Famous Writers

If you can’t say something nice about somebody, then go for the throat. Case in point:

9 Famous Writers Ripping Other Famous Writers
by Will McGough

1. Ernest Hemingway to William Faulkner

It’s not much of a surprise that these two writers of such differing styles would butt heads. This tiff in particular began with Faulkner accusing Hemingway of never using a word that would send a reader to the dictionary. Hemingway’s classic response still serves as sound advice to writers today. “Poor Faulkner,” Hemingway said, “Does he really think big emotions come from big words?” read article
