John and Craig share their tips for working from home, from writing sprints to taking walks.
We also talk about how the recent shutdowns have affected Pay Up Hollywood, support staff, and what we’re doing about it.
Finally, we hear from Scriptnotes guests and friends about how they are managing this challenging time. Longtime listeners, buckle up.
