  • Liz and Sarah use several criteria when choosing which TV projects they want to pursue — a world they love, interesting characters, stories with legs. Now they’re adding a new one… is the material consequential? And what does that mean to them? In Take A Hike, Sarah shares how her new Wellness Journal is helping on her health quest. In Hits & Bombs, Liz and Sarah give a Hit to the Olympics. And then Liz gives Sarah a Hit for organizing her bedroom closet, and Sarah gives Liz a Hit for making two trips to Ojai.

  • In honor of All Work August, Liz and Sarah started the month with an intense two days of work at Sarah’s house in Ojai.

It’s been years since she’s been unreachable for work, and it’s a weird feeling! This week’s Hollywood Hack is a great gift for almost anyone: give an Uber gift card.

  • Liz and Sarah talk about the benefits of joining a professional group. They get so much wisdom and support from other female showrunners who deal with the same issues that they do. In Take A Hike, Sarah reveals why she’s decided to make self-care her latest hobby. Then they offer a Pitch Hack Round up — elevate your iPad, do a run through for lighting, reframe anxiety as excitement, and more! Finally, Liz has a new reality show recommendation: The Valley on Bravo.
