We also get into the realities of working in a TV writers' room, and hear how that process differs from nearly any other form of writing.We also spoke with Matthew about his love of TTRPGs and his work on the Glass Cannon Network on our Narrative Damage podcast - listen to that episode here or watch it now on Youtube here.Links:Watch Vladimir on NetflixVisit Matthew's websiteFollow Matthew on InstagramSupport us on Patreon and get the podcast early and ad-free, along with other great benefits, including a bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/ukpageonePage One - The Writer's Podcast is brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer's Notebook.
