IT’S A WONDERY LIFE

IMAGINED LIFE

In 2018, I got hired by the podcast company Wondery to write scripts for a new show called IMAGINED LIFE. The premise was genius: each episode is about a well-known person and it’s written in the second-person tense, as if the listener IS that person. The twist is you don’t find out who YOU ARE until the very end of the episode.

Here’s the official blurb:

What is it like to be famous before you’re famous? What is it like to walk in the shoes of another person? Each episode of Imagined Life takes you on an immersive journey into the life of a world-famous person. It’ll be someone you may think you know, even admire -- or maybe the opposite. You’ll get clues to your identity along the way. But only in the final moments will you find out who “you” really are. So sit back, let go, and -- imagine your life, with our hosts, Oscar nominated Virginia Madsen and celebrated voice actor Robbie Daymond.

It was a challenging, fun, wildly creative gig. Listen to the episodes I wrote below…but be warned: You may cry at the end. I did while I was writing them…often in a Starbucks.

My favorite eps are near the top.

EVEN THE RICH

I wrote seven seasons of the show Even The Rich, a show so popular it got a billboard in swanky North Hollywood.

Here’s the blurb describing the show:

Our lives can be crazy, but you can take a break from it all with Wondery’s new series, Even the Rich, where co-hosts Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williams pull back the curtain and chat about someone else’s craziness for a change. Because as Queen Elizabeth once said, “A good gossip is a wonderful tonic.”
