Host Rodney Barnes welcomes showrunner Max Borenstein and executive producer Jim Hecht to the studio for The Official Winning Time Podcast episode 3. Rodney and Max talk about their behind-the-scenes writing dynamic and how “giving audiences what they don’t know” about the Showtime Lakers has guided their process. Then Rodney and Max are joined by Jim Hecht, who shares how he was at a personal and professional low when he found new passion thanks to Jeff Pearlman’s book, Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s. The official Winning Time podcast is produced by HBO in conjunction with Hyperobject Industries and Pineapple Street Studios.
