Summary

Liz and Sarah try to envision work and the workplace post Covid-19. On the plus side, they expect less traffic and to save on dry cleaning. The downside? It may be harder to make friends at work. In Take A Hike, they remind themselves to “remember the Mah Jongg card.” At first it’s just a confusing jumble of symbols, but over time it all begins to make sense — like so many things in life. This week’s Hollywood Hack will improve your next road trip: the Wagan 12V cooler/warmer (a plug in cooler for your car). Happier in Hollywood is part of ‘The Onward Project,’ a family of podcasts brought together by Gretchen Rubin—all about how to make your life better.

0:00.0	So are we coming to the conclusion that we're just not taking out a broadcast
0:05.2	pitched this season? I think so. It just nothing sounds appealing. I think we're
0:10.8	not in a broadcast frame of mind. So we're just riding the dragon off to
0:16.6	streaming. Woohoo!
0:24.2	Hi and welcome to Happier and Hollywood. The podcast about how to be
0:28.4	happier, healthier, sane, or more creative, more successful, and more productive
0:33.4	in a back-biting superficial, chaotic, unpredictable, fundamentally insane
0:38.0	world. I'm Liz Kraft, a TV writer and producer living in LA, and with me is my
0:43.5	high school friend and writing partner Sarah. That's me, Sarah Fein. On this
0:48.3	podcast we talk about being writers in Hollywood, how we balance a career and
0:51.9	friendship, and how to survive the war of attrition that is life in Los Angeles.

1:23.0	pandemic. But first and update, we are planning a special listener questions
1:29.4	episodes. So send us your questions. It's one of our favorite things to do. We
1:34.1	love these episodes so much. You can ask us anything about TV writing, working as
1:38.9	a team, moving to LA, send me questions about spinning up to you, whatever you
1:44.2	want. Yes. Send us an email or a voice memo to Happier and Hollywood at gmail.com.
