Robin Hopkins - Producer of Amy Schumer's Podcast "3 Girls, 1 Keith"

Robin Hopkins is in the middle of a big life transition. She’s been a producer for Spotify’s "Amy Schumer Presents: 3 Girls, 1 Keith" podcast since 2016. Now in it’s 4th season, the show features Amy and her hilarious comic friends Rachel Feinstein (whom I adore and met thanks to the Women in Comedy doc I’ve been producing!), Bridget Everett, and Keith Robinson dish about their lives, pop culture, politics, and stand-up comedy. Alas. Her time at Spotify is coming to an end this year. You see, she just did something incredible. With the help of knee pads (aka an investor), she managed to let go of the guard rails and leap towards her dream of focusing on IF THESE OVARIES COULD TALK, a podcast she co-hosts with Jaimie Kelton where two lesbians chat about how to make babies and non-traditional families. An artist at heart, Robin stumbled her way into producing when she realized realized she had the skills to also be meticulously organized, juggle multiple balls while keeping 47 tabs open, and truly, make something out of nothing. Producers are sort of magical, mystical creatures. Some part of you has to believe the impossible is possible to pursue any shade of producing. In this chat, Robin explains the career trajectory of an in house producer, which she equates to the show runner role in traditional network television. And what it means to lead by example by chasing after her dreams. Can't wait to hear what you think of the episode!
