Kate and Meredith are definitely fan-girling over here. We love Patty Lin, not to mention we are HUGE fans of Judd Apatow's Freaks and Geeks. Reading her newly released book, End Credits, we fell in love with her and her writing style. She is a former TV writer and producer whose credits include Freaks and Geeks, Friends, Desperate Housewives, and Breaking Bad. She has also written pilots for Fox, CBS, and Nickelodeon. In this episode, we discuss not only Patty's book, but her experiences writing for TV shows, and what should change in the industry. We break down exactly what it's like to be a screenwriter on a network TV show. Follow her @virtualpattylin.

We're very excited to introduce you all to Alex Creswick, an intimacy coordinator and film producer based in Los Angeles. The conversations have only begun when it comes to having an advocate on set for intimacy and nudity. Alex's healthy perspective on how they go about their job in the industry is refreshing and something we all should strive to replicate. Comfortability on set will always lead to finer art.

In this episode, we learn the nuances of being a voice actor, what to expect when going for auditions, and what loop groups are all about.

It's February! Love is in the air and what's not to LOVE about our favorite Multi Hyphenates: Actor, Producer, Voice Over Artist,Talent Booker and Hosts Extraordinaire Ashley Hearon-Smith and Keri Setaro. In this episode, we break down what it means to be a multi-hyphenate in our industry, and what it takes to pivot and transition to fulfill that creative need. Ashley and Keri give a no-holds-barred glimpse into the career of a multi-hyphenate. We are all so lucky to be able to do what we love, and we're aware that there is an unspoken privilege to be able to take certain career risks. We also touch on the Me Too movement, and discuss how not much has really changed; are the "adjustments" we see authentic or just for show? Bonus! Stay to the end for an awesome Meryl Streep story.

Naomi is first and foremost a storyteller with a passion to make people feel, but she is also a devoted changemaker for women in the industry. Naomi is someone who has truly taken time to analyze her place in not just this industry, but in the universe, as she puts it, with a realization to create her own balance of happiness and success. Her TED talk, "What it's like to be a woman in Hollywood," has led the path forward for Naomi to be a trailblazer for the parity for which all of us fighting.
