Hi everyone, it's me, Ben. Please enjoy this lively interview with Jason Fuchs, who wrote a really good script that unfortunately was not picked up to series this year called Big Thunder. It was written for Disney and ABC. At the time of the recording, we didn't know the fate of Big Thunder, so you'll notice that immediately.

But it's still a very, it's a fun interview, and Jason had a lot of interesting things to say about writing in various media.

He also wrote one of the Ice Age sequels. So we talk about that a little bit, as well as his background and how he got into

the business. And he has some good things to say about the kind of work you kind of need to do

before you make it or as you start making it. So I hope you enjoy this. Tomorrow, we'll be releasing

a bonus episode with showrunner Callie Curie, who created Nashville,

who also wrote Thelman Louise and some other movies and has directed some movies in television.

Tomorrow's the Nashville finale on television, so it's a good time to talk to Callie,

and I'll do a little intro for that tomorrow.

But enjoy that interview with her.

It's a bonus one as part of the Fast Company interviews that I did. Fast Company magazine made

their list of 100 most creative people in business, and numbers 77 through 83 included a bunch

of television people whom I got to interview. It was a real treat.

People like Cali, whom I had never spoken to before, people like Vince Gilligan, whom I have

talked to a few times and Liz Meriwether, folks like that. It's a pretty neat article. It was a lot of

fun to do. All these guys had really interesting things to say about writing and the

business of writing. Go to fast company.com to check out the full list of the most creative

people in business 2013, as well as the excerpts of the interviews. You can click on it right

from their homepage, fast company.com.

And as of today, the magazine should be on newsstand.

So check it out.

There's really cool stuff in there.
