Scriptnotes Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I have been listening to this podcast off and on for 10 years. I was watching John August’s YouTube videos before the podcast.
Where else are you going to learn the ins and outs of the industry from two titan screenwriters?
They are generously giving their time to break down the industry and craft which has never been done publicly before.
Thank you for the entertainment and insights for over a decade.

And that should be enough, but they tackle the culture of the industry and the unsettling working conditions that have long been seen or rather not seen with great insight, making real change.
You are both mensches, making this world a better place.

John and Craig share very practical advice about screenwriting in such an entertaining way that even non-screenwriters (like me) can enjoy it. Thanks, gents!

John and Craig do an excellent job breaking down their craft. I really enjoy the straightforward advice they both give to listener q’s… often from differing perspectives. Screenwriting gold this is!

The episode with Craig Mazin explaining his theory of how to write a movie + the ongoing coverage of the WGA strike = pure gold

The hosts of the show display a strong left-wing perspective, which reflects a broader trend in hollywood writing rooms and the overall industry. This approach may not align with everyone’s views and could be indicative of current challenges in hollywood’s diversity of thought and representation.
