Take 72 - Writer and Showrunner Meredith Scardino, Mr Mayor, Girls5eva

We talk to the effervescent Meredith Scardino.
She tells us about the transition from late night to episodic, handling rejection of both instant and slow ideas and how her upbringing prepared her for a life of pitching ideas.
We discuss warm rooms, mean rooms and no asshole policies and what sort of leader she is.
Meredith talks about the issues with virtual rooms, the joy of writing comedy and the dopamine hits of pitching a good idea.
A fun romp through the world of comedy with an entertaining and insightful guest.
