This is Recode Media with Peter Koska. That's me. I am part to the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm here at Vox Headquarters in New York City. In a minute, we're going to take you to a fancy Midtown hotel where I talked to Graham Yost. He's a TV screenwriter, movie screenwriter. He's got a cool show on Amazon called Sneaky Pete. Before we do that, here is my now standard request to rate review us on Apple

podcast. And also an offer, if you're coming down to Austin, beginning of the month, to South by

Southwest, and you'd like to see me. Guess what? You can't. I'm going to do something with Ev Williams

for the South by Southwest event there. And there's also something called the deep end

with Vox Media. That's a whole house we're renting out and doing cool events. I'm going to talk to

Jason Blum. You got me on Blumhouse. You may have heard of him before on this very show. And maybe one

other cool interview, which I can't tell you about quite yet. You can find all that information on

ricode.net and also at the top of my Twitter feed, you are smart. You can figure it out. So here is that Graham Yost interview. It sounds echoates because this fancy hotel has a lot of marble in it. So it's a tiny bit bouncier than Jolani and I would have liked. But we think you can listen to it. You'll enjoy it. I'm with Grahamios, the executive producer. Do I get to call you the creator as well,

room? No, you do not. Not the creator of Stinky Pete. Which you can call me the showrunner. Guy in charge of Sneaky Pete, which you can see on Amazon, I think an episode at a time. No. No, you guys, you do the whole, you do the full drop. Boom. There's my, there's my research out the door.

Gram has made a lot of cool things over his career.

He wrote Speed,

which is a great movie. Made Justified, which is one of my favorite all-time TV shows. I want to talk to you about Sneaky Pete to start with. This is the second season. Second season. If you have not watched the first season, you can go watch it now. Yeah. With Amazon Prime. This new world.

Watch anything anytime.

The quick synopsis, it's a caper show.

So he is, Marius, played by Giovanni Rabisi.

The first season opens, has been in prison for three years, and he's just getting out.

And he finds that the world outside has changed a little bit and some business

that basically sent him to jail is still hanging over his head and the bad guy Vince played

by this actor he might have heard of Brian Cranston basically also producer and he's a co-creator

with David Shore that they they want their money Vince wants his money and he's a co-creator with David Shore that they they want their money. Vince wants

his money and it's going to be bad for him. So Marius hides out, takes on the personality, the persona,

the ID of his cellmate, Pete, and shows up at this farmhouse that Pete hasn't been to in 20 years and says,
