We’re joined by writer, producer and Writers Panel podcast host Ben Blacker (Thrilling Adventure Hour, Dead Pilot Society, Hex Wives) to talk about turning Laurie’s memoir into a TV series, LA pizza, and why nobody should hug Laurie goodbye.

Topics: coffee-lid mac and cheese, a morally bankrupt grandma pie, subway track splits and a cilantro Caesar, forced-fall pot roast, peas-free hachis parmentier, and hard cuts.
