This week on The Planet Shivers Podcast, I got to talk with writer Susan Silver. Ms. Silver wrote and worked on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Laugh-In, The Partridge Family, The Bob Newhart Show, and more! Susan and I had a fun conversation about her being an early female writer in the business, her journey from Wisconsin to Hollywood, her autobiography 'Hot Pants in Hollywood', as well as her time spent with Lenny Bruce.

We're back at it for episode eleven! This time it's a short one. We have no guest this time, but I'll be previewing some new shows, looking back on the first ten, and talking about what I've been up to lately. Hopefully you'll at least get a kick out of me, slightly hopped-up on caffeine and ginger, pulling an episode out of my butt in one take.
