They're smart. They're funny. They're basically married. This week, we pause our usual rewatch programming for an in-depth interview with Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline, the creators and showrunners of The Middle. Eileen and DeAnn share delicious details about the series, including lessons learned from the first unsuccessful pilot, their partnership with Patricia Heaton, and the Sue and Brad spin-off. We're so lucky to have them, and we know you'll love them too!
All that and much more, so let's get to Middling!
Reminder! Starting today, you can now buy ONE-OFF extended episodes on Patreon! So if a monthly subscription isn't in the cards at the moment, you're able to buy singular episodes for $3/ep -- either the extended audio or extended video option! That's all happening at Patreon.com/MiddlingPod.
BOO! Our next Live Watch is set for Sunday, Oct. 27th @3pm PST / 6pm EST. And we'll be dressing up in costume as we watch ep 605, "Halloween V."
Email us your burning question for Eden & Brock -- or share what The Middle means to you. [email protected]
