Episode 18: A Very Special Episode II (feat. Taran Killam & Megan Ganz)

Welcome back, friends! We have a very special episode for you today as you can tell by the title: Taran Killam (Saturday Night Live, Single Parents, Hamilton, etc.) and Megan Ganz (writer for Community, Modern Family, It's Always Sunny, and co-showrunner/writer of Mythic Quest) join Jenn and Chels for a conversation!

The two guests talk about what it's like to pursue their craft, talk about how much they love each other's work, and discuss things they're watching and reading during this pandemic.

Stay tuned for a separate episode soon where Jenn and Chels continue their conversation with Megan about Community — specifically, they talk about all things "Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking" and "Documentary Filmmaking Redux."
