It seems like 99% (note: estimate possibly entirely made up) of working film and TV writers in the entertainment industry didn’t get a screenwriting degree. In fact, many started out in entirely different careers before transitioning over to the world of screenwriting. And many more writers worked several odd jobs before they sold their first script or got staffed on their first show. Almost every writer has a weird, crazy, or just utterly insane backstory. But along the way, these odd jobs shaped who the writers were as people, the content they write, and the random jokes and references they would later know way too much about 

In this podcast, TV writer Alyssa Feller interviews television, feature, comedy, drama, sci-fi, horror, animation, children’s, and late night writers to ask… what was that one weird job you had before you “made it”?
