NEW PODCAST: "The Writer's Room with Sam and Jim"
samandjimgotohollywood's Podcast
Okay, it took 6 years since that last post, but we finally got around to podcasting again. But we chose a new format: inviting aspiring writers to bring their ideas into a virtual writers' room with us to work on their ideas. It's funny, surprising, and a way for us to help others go to Hollywood, now that we've made it in ourselves! Check it out, and subscribe at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
