I’m your nerd host, Chris Hardwick
Nerdist is a place where we nerds come together and share the nerdery that we find. It's also my home to various elements of the Nerdist Empire. You might recognize me from TV. You don't realize that's where you know me from, but it is. You think you went to college with me or I look like your cousin's friend, but that is not the case. At one time or another you stumbled upon me on your moving picture box in such cerebral gems as MTV's "Singled Out" and Noam Chomsky's "Shipmates." and so much more...
Say hello to the contributors.
Ben Blacker reminds me of a young Edward James Olmos
Such a great panel of writers, so much info. Looooooved it!
NWP is the best of all Nerdist pods and it totally makes my day (:
I always enjoy this podcast, but this was an especially outstanding episode! Really interesting stuff. Thanks.
Ben you seem to be conducting four concurrent interviews. This makes it really hard listening specifically to concentrate on because there are four completely different stories to follow.
Please don’t be afraid to let the writers interact.
It would interesting to hear conversations about genre that go beyond the question of what makes a good writers room.
As a consumer of television I am interested in hearing about the art of television. It is a great moment for the podcast when Gary Lennon pointed out that establishing correct tone in a script is most important because it made me realize Veena Sud’s focus on genre for a spec might have lead to bad story decisions. Please do more of this.
I absolutely love the Writers Panel podcasts. They quickly became my second favorite podcast, secondly only to the “great” Nerdist postcast, itself.
I love this panel! I could listen to Tim Minear much much longer! He’s funny, well-spoken and gets to the point. Also: Maybe my hearing is off, but doesn’t he enunciate similarly to Joss Whedon? their working together clearly shows!
Somehow podcasts like these inspire me to write while at the same time prove to me that I have no idea how it’s done.
Anyway the podcast was fascinating, funny and insightful.
Tim Minear was brilliant.
Great podcast as always. What is the song that was played as Tim Minear came out. It is starting to bother me.
What about the song when Harris Wittels comes out?
Thanks.
