Amy Sherman-Palladino on Gilmore Girls, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel & Building Iconic Female Worlds

In this candid master-class, six-time Emmy-winner Amy Sherman-Palladino—creator of Gilmore Girls, Bunheads, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and the new ballet-drama Étoile—joins In Her Words to trace the roller-coaster career that took her from dancer to Roseanne staff writer to record-breaking show-runner. Amy reveals: The “crazy six-month” leap from improv classes to her first TV staff job and how Roseanne shaped her storytelling rule: “make the small big, the big small.” Why Lauren Graham was the ONLY possible Lorelai, and how Rachel Brosnahan won Midge by “leaning into the mic.” Filming battles behind Stars Hollow, mid-century Manhattan, and today’s Paris-New York ballet set—plus her take on streaming’s six-episode “sweet spot.” The importance of training the next generation of writers (and why every writers’ room needs table-read access and production exposure). Her honest outlook on an oft-rumored Gilmore Girls Christmas movie—and the future of Étoile in a sci-fi-obsessed industry. Whether you dream of pitching, show-running, or simply living in Stars Hollow, Amy’s rapid-fire insights will sharpen your creative game. In Her Words presents thoughtful conversations with leaders across entertainment from film and television to media and gaming and everything in between; as we talk about what it takes to make your mark in the industry, lessons these incredible people have learned along the way, and how they have found their way in an ever-changing environment. With in-depth conversations and pre-submitted listener questions, each episode provides candid advice for navigating today’s entertainment industry, giving listeners an inside look at how key players got their start, and guidance for building the necessary toolkit to bring careers to life in film, TV, music, theater, graphics, writing, animation and beyond.
