The TV Sect Podcast

It's a bird...it's a plane...it's a script supervisor!

Moni Wood and Sierra DuCharme-Hansen Season 3 Episode 2

There are many heroes when it comes to creating the magic of TV, but not all wear capes - and this isn’t just a fashion choice. On this episode, we learn about and get to know one of those unsung heroes, a script supervisor! 

First Sierra and Moni recap the Emmys. Yes, we know it was awhile ago, but we recorded when it was still fresh in our minds and hearts. 

Then we dive in to the behind the scenes of making television and chat with Caryn Ruby, a script supervisor, and the creator and host of the podcast Script Supervisors: Unsung Heroes of Film & TV. Her podcast is a backstage pass to the process of filmmaking from one of the most difficult, little-known, and historically female department head positions on a film crew. Each episode features a short interview as well as a topic like Why You should Stop Calling Us “Scripty,” or What really happened with that Game of Thrones coffee cup? Compiled from conversations with over a dozen opinionated masters of the craft of script supervising with experience from low-budget independent films and commercials all the way to and including multiple Academy and Emmy-Award winning films and television shows. 

Check out her podcast, it's amazing. Available wherever you get your podcasts. 

And, as usual, we end our show with our devotionals of our cult-like love of TV.

And, in the spirit of the Emmys, a special thanks to my unstable internet connection for the audio dropouts and weird sound artifacts that made the audio on this episode a little wonky.
