Rob Corddry on getting stuff written

August 18, 2011 Geek Alert, Television, Web series

Merlin Mann’s [Back to Work podcast](http://5by5.tv/b2w/29) has a great discussion with Rob Corddry this week, talking about Children’s Hospital. (Which, if you’re not watching, is [available on iTunes](http://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/childrens-hospital-season-1/id296879842).)

I was especially interested in how Corddry and his team are breaking stories for the upcoming season: using the simultaneous editing features in Google Docs. That’s the same way Stuart and I wrote the point-counterpoint for yesterday’s article about FCP X. The collaboration features in Google Docs are fairly amazing and under-heralded.

You can listen to the Corddry podcast [here](http://5by5.tv/b2w/29).
