Hi, Nerdist Writers Panel. Listeners, this is Ben Blacker, the creator and moderator of the Nerdist Riders panel. I hope you enjoy today's chat. It should be a lot of fun. I certainly enjoyed it. We have a bunch of live panels. If you are in L.A., come to these live panels. They are super fun. I know they're a little pricey at $15. They wouldn't let me drop the price,

but the good news is it goes to 826 LA, the National Nonprofit Tutoring Program. This Sunday,

the 9th of February, we have, as you demanded, Philip Iscove, the co-creator of Sleepy Hollow,

who is the nicest guy and should be a lot of fun to talk to.

We also have Don Prestwich and Nicole Yorkin from The Killing and the Riches and Carnival.

They are great. I met them at the Austin Film Festival.

They have a lot of really great things to say.

As well as Paul Redford, who has worked on the Sorkin shows, the Newsroom and the West Wing,

another really good guy with some really terrific stories, and he's a great writer.

So that's the Nerdist Rides panel on the 9th of February.

Go to nerdmelt.la.com slash tickets to the number two.

That's this Sunday, and then the following Sunday.

I think we've got more.

We do.

The 16th, we have James Wong from The X-Files and he was recently on American Horror Story.

I really dig this dude's work.

I've been wanting to get him for a long time.

We also have Moira

Curland, who is currently on Arrow and who worked on Castle. Moira, we tried to schedule

last year and we finally got her and you guys been wanting someone from Arrow, so I'm glad

we'd get her. And we also have Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett, who have worked on Nikita

and Teranova
