Wanna be a television writer? Interested in learning more about that field? If so, this is the episode for you. Tony Phelan is as accomplished as they come as a writer, and he’s also a highly successful producer and director. 

From Grey’s Anatomy in the early days to Fire Country today, Tony brings a ton of lessons for up and coming writers and everybody else wanting to work on creating shows. You’ll hear him drop gems like: “Once the audience knows where you’re going, you’re dead.”

Fun fact: Tony has been married to his wife Joan since 1993, and they have worked together ever since.
