Listen to the podcast:
Mazzara is in the country speaking at the 2013 TV Writers Studio, held last weekend in Melbourne and this weekend in Sydney, with tickets still available.
In Lee’s most recent column for Mumbrella’s sister title Encore, he discusses how a writer must earn their stripes before jumping into the ‘Showrunner’ role.
- Mumbrella’s Google Hangout broadcasts every Tuesday from 3pm Eastern.
I saw Glen speak at the TV Writers Studio over the weekend and he was excellent.

Every one hates Laurie, was this a concept brought into the show or was it by chance? PLEASE DON’T KILL HURSHEL… he may be old, but he is amazing

Glenn, the show has had many changes since its start, with its setting, characters and with its show runners. How do you manage these changes?

I enjoy the Hangout but the audio quality on some of the clips filmed in this room is pretty average….any chance of improving it. It can sometimes be painful to listen to.
