Siblings 😱
Hi Em & Michael! I love the pod!! Thank you ALL so much for all your hard work and dedication to the pod, I love it so much and it doesn’t go unnoticed all the hard work that everyone puts in! Until recently I thought you were an only child Em, but you mentioned briefly (somewhere I can’t remember where 🫣) having a sister, and it made me curious about if you have siblings and if so how many you have etc. I believe Michael is an only child however I could have this wrong too. So, Micheal and Em do you have siblings? If so, how many? Are they older or younger than you? Thank you for answering this question (if you answer it 🤭). Also, 1000% fine if you don’t want to answer it, the internet (and the world) can be a scary place to share information especially personal information. Anyway, love you guys heaps! Keep up the amazing work! ❤️❤️
For Micheal Re Newsreader and TV writing
Hi Michael, I am always curious about the number of tv show episodes in a season, and the length of the tv show (eg 22 minutes). Who determines this? It is the writer in the first stages or ultimately does it come down to budget/network say? Can you ask for more eps in future seasons when a show is going well? I've seen shows expand going from 6 to 22 eps, or from half hours to full hours. I feel like Newsreader could have more eps per season given you are drawing from real events, and because I want to watch more! But maybe this isn't what you want creatively? Is it harder to make this switch as a writer after a couple of seasons? Love to hear your thoughts. PS Em love you lots, have been following you from London since Instagram fed me some clips of you on Sydney radio. Feels like I have found a kindred neuro spicy spirit, and you have also helped me to accept my qualities that people have told me for years aren't good for a woman. Hugs.
