Scriptnotes Listeners’ Guide

We asked Scriptnotes listeners for their recommendations on can’t-miss episodes from our first 300.

The final result is a 113-page PDF. It’s free!

Get the Listener’s Guide:

Now that you have the recommendations, how do you find the episodes? You have two choices.

  1. You can become a Premium member at scriptnotes.net. It’s $5 per month, and lets you access the entire back catalog plus special bonus segments each week.

  2. You can download 50-episode seasons of the show. Each season costs $5 and has everything that happened during that period, including transcripts and Three Page Challenge samples.

Help us update this guide!

In anticipation of 500 episodes, we’re working on an update for our Listeners’ Guide. So please submit your must-listen picks, especially those after episodes 300.

  • Three-digit number, please. Example: 043
    (Select as many as apply.)
  • Make your case for why this episode is noteworthy. One to five sentences, please!
  • By including your name, you're giving us permission to include this review in a possible Scriptnotes guide.

And thanks! We have the best listeners in the world.
