There's too much programming on TV right now, which makes networks nervous, and makes them meddle more when they're all competing for same audience.

But what makes matters worse is when smaller networks don’t have enough programming or projects in development and they focus too much on the few shows they have.  Too many cooks... and they need more eaters.  This creates an environment of Monday morning quarterbacking, focusing on specific plays rather than the whole game.

More importantly... when is it best to include the entire crew in your creative process?  And how much of Terence or Ian's personalities come out in their characters' dialogue?

Terence says the F-word at the end, officially rating the podcast, Explicit.

Executive Producers, showrunners, and production company owners -- Terence Michael and Ian Gelfand have produced over 50 television series and 20 feature films between the two of them.  They're also entrepreneurs, with businesses outside of film and tv, from real estate to start-ups.  Ian lives in New York.  Terence lives in Los Angeles.  This podcast was born from a series of neurotic telephone conversations that began after Terence returned from Louisiana,where he's the executive producer of Duck Dynasty, and attempted to prepare Ian to come onboard the next season to direct and showrun. They both realize they're probably the only two people listening.  And that's okay with them.
