As I'm still away at the moment, we're starting the year with some new episodes of the Geektown Behind The Scenes podcast before the main Geektown Radio show returns later this month. This week, I'm chatting with Emmy-winning and ADG award-nominated production designer, Adam Rowe.

Adam Rowe is an Art Director and Production Designer for TV and stage, who has worked across a huge eclectic mix of projects including the new 'Quantum Leap', 'Mr. Mayor', CBS series 'Good Sam', and our beloved ‘The Good Place’. One of his other more recent projects was the Netflix series ‘Glamorous’, from 'Star Trek: Discovery' and 'Quantico' producer Jordan Nardino.

‘Glamorous’ introduces us to makeup-obsessed and gender non-conforming queer Marco (played by Miss Benny) as he’s given the opportunity of a lifetime to work under makeup mogul, Madolyn Addison (played by Kim Cattrall), and the makeup empire she’s created. While navigating his new job, Marco also finds challenges in his new life and what it means to be queer.

In the interview, we discuss Adam's fascinating work creating this glamorous world, including the unique office space, Marco's room, and various other interesting environments. We also talk about how they cleverly reused some of the sets for the upcoming reboot of the classic legal series 'Matlock' starring Academy & Emmy Award Winner Kathy Bates.

Other projects Adam has worked on include ‘House’, ‘Criminal Minds’, ‘Dexter’, ‘Parks and Recreation’, ‘American Crime Story: Versace’, and the long-running crime dramedy ‘Rizzoli & Isles’. He also worked on the Fox live adaptation of the stage show ‘Rent’ which saw him win the Emmy this year for Outstanding Production Design For A Variety Special.
