Four busy days in LA revived my mission of the podcast and why I feel so strongly about celebrating the work of talented TV women. It was a mix of business and pleasure, which is why I love producing Advanced TV Herstory.

I had meetings lined up that included recording two interviews. The first was with Beth Sullivan, creator of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. What an amazing experience! My second interview took place at the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills, with actor Stepfanie Kramer.

For fun, I recommend the guided hike up to the famous Hollywood sign. For more work, I spent two days at the Writers Guild of America archive. Staff there arranged stacks of specific scripts and boxes of records that informed my book research. In nearly every moment of my busy days in L.A., it was clear the city. exists to make money. Further, it reinforced  just how demanding and brutal show biz is, especially for women. Whether in front of or behind the camera came, fame and failure came at a cost.

Enjoy our November episode (audio and video), where I’ll share observations and a sincere amount of gushing. American TV gives confidence to viewers from around the world who see themselves included. It’s important to recognize the perseverance and resilience from women  who built the foundation. Revived mission
