👩🏽‍💻💜Loved this episode — especially around the 27 minute mark when he talks about staffing a writers room. Would love to know more about “finders, minders and grinders” and if you (Ben) have any experience with this.

Yesssss! Tifanny, I was coming to talk about the same thing! I really appreciate framing the different roles that way.

Glad you liked the episode. I'd never heard anyone talk about hiring writers this way and thought it was interesting. Of course, most writers are capable of falling into multiple of these categories, but I'm sure it's helpful in staffing.

Ben - will you guys be around before the 7pm Oct 25 Brooklyn show starts to sign some of your books? Happy to show up early.

First of all, glad you're coming to the show! Thank you! I can't make any promises about being around, as I have no idea what the pre-show scene will be, if we'll need to rehearse backstage (which is often the case). But remind me in the week preceding the show, and Acker and I will do our best to come say hello.
