Episode notes

This is part two of our first rerun, featuring Andrew’s interview with Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, the creators of Eternally Yours which we reran last week. Joe and Joe are maybe best known for being the showrunners of the hit CBS show Ghosts.

In this interview we talk about Joe and Joe’s first show business jobs, including the insane, no-longer existent job of Night PA, delivering scripts in the wee hours of the night. They talk about how far having a great attitude can take you in this business, the lessons they’ve learned through their long careers and what they look for in people when they’re staffing shows.

And we have an update on Eternally Yours! CBS ordered up a ten week development room for them to hire a few writers and write a few scripts for the show. It is going to start up after they wrap production on Season four of Ghosts next month! So fingers crossed that this great show about the undead will actually become the first Dead Pilots Society pilot to actually rise from the dead.
