0:00.0	Oh my god, this is amazing. I can't believe people are really here. I can't believe we
0:05.5	get to shoot here. I really hope it doesn't rain that day. Oh my god.
0:16.5	Hi and welcome to Happier in Hollywood, the podcast about how to be happier, healthier,
0:21.2	sainter, more creative, more successful, and more productive in a backbiting, superficial
0:25.9	chaotic, unpredictable, fundamentally insane world. I'm Liz Kraft, a TV writer and producer
0:32.2	living in LA, and with me is my high school friend and writing partner of 18 years Sarah.
0:38.2	That's me Sarah Fane. On this podcast, we talk about being writers in Hollywood, how we balance

1:25.4	of what the show is. So let's give them a log line and wet the appetite of our listeners for the fix.
1:31.9	Excellent. Alright, so this is the log line. What happens when you lose the trial of the century
1:37.4	and are shredded by the media in the process? If you're Maya Travis, you leave your job as a
1:42.0	high powered prosecutor in Los Angeles and never look back. What happens when eight years later,
1:47.2	the murderer who got off strikes again. If you're Andre Collier, current chief deputy DA, who was
1:52.6	second chair in the case eight years ago, you call the one woman who knows more about the past case
