Take 51 - Rob Thomas, showrunner and novelist

We start season 2 with veteran showrunner and novelist Rob Thomas.We get straight into it with the crushing blow of losing an overall deal with a major studio, a hellish year of development and concerns that his most recent show might be his last.Rob explains how he went pretty much straight from Dawson’s Creek writer to showrunner, what he learned along the way and how he is a bad consultant but a great boss.In an honest and revealing interview he tells us what he is worrying about, shares some simple but powerful advice and explains the pleasure he gets from seeing his old assistants win awards.Fascinating insights from the creator of multiple shows.
