| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, it's me, Ben. I'm so excited to bring to you guys this next batch of writers' panels. |
| 0:07.8 | I was approached by Fast Company Magazine a few months ago, because part of their 100 most creative people in business is focusing on television. |
| 0:19.9 | They finally recognize that it's been a banner couple of years for creative folks in television. |
| 0:26.6 | And so they were kind enough to include me on the list. |
| 0:30.6 | Please check out number 83. |
| 0:32.6 | Yeah, number 83. |
| 0:34.6 | And then they sent me out to do their dirty work by interviewing the other people on the list. |
| 0:41.7 | So I had great conversations with people whom we had met before, folks like Liz Meriwether and Vince Gilligan, |
| 0:48.0 | and some new people as well. |
| 0:50.4 | The showrunners of Key and Peel, the Kellyi Curie, who created Nashville, a bunch of others. |

| 1:34.3 | Part of that is that we're going to do, if you are in LA, we're going to do a big panel featuring a lot of the people on this list, |
| 1:43.3 | including Liz and Vince and some folks who are not on this list, but should be, just for want of space. |
| 1:50.4 | Carlton Kuse will be there, Greg Daniels will be there, some other surprises in store. |
