Ever wonder what makes a show bingeable? Want to study TV pilots other than just “Breaking Bad”? Us too. That's why we created Binge-Worthy Writing: a practical screenwriting podcast that dives into series’ episodes to find out what makes them binge-worthy as a means of helping writers hone their craft and diversify the media landscape.

Season 1 focuses on pilot episodes and the key elements that make them binge-worthy and spark our interest in the rest of the series. Episodes released weekly.
