What Do Producers Actually Do? Ask Our Kids!

For episode 126 we, like you, are stuck in quarantine. It’s turned into a long, hot, “can’t go anywhere” summer. We thought it was time for a little popsicle. One of the questions we get from friends and family members who aren’t in the business is “what does a producer do, anyway?” So we thought we’d ask some special people to give us their opinion…our kids! Meet Our Kids With school cancelled and kids working from home with “online” learning, we’ve been lucky enough to spend more time with our children than ever before. Since we, too, are working from home, our kids are getting a little glimpse of what we do all day long. Today we ask our daughter and son, “what do Mommy and Daddy do?” Their answers surprised us, and the whole thing turned into a fun family project we could do while quarantined. Warning: this is a short, fun and light podcast ep, just 7 minutes. You probably won’t learn how to succeed in Hollywood from this one! Want Something More In-Depth? If you’re craving some more “in-depth” industry podcast eps, we will be back sometime towards September (we’re waiting to see what happens with the kids’ schooling). In the mean time, if you missed it, here are a few industry-centered podcast eps we did recently that have more practical information: * 2020 Perspective for Filmmakers, Producers, and Creatives * Hiring in Hollywood: The Flipside * Producing Personal Projects with Emmy Winner Steve Mazan * Making TV In Quarantine Let’s Make Some TV Together (Remotely, Anyway!) As you can imagine, at the moment it’s taking a long time for us to review submissions due to the current Covid situation. But you can still learn how to pitch your packaged concepts to us, and use this time in quarantine to really hone your concepts. We hope at some point you get to work with our company Joke Productions. Here’s everything you need to know:
