Covid-19 has changed our lives in big ways — and small. Sarah and Liz share some small, unexpected changes in their routines since they’ve been “safer at home.” Sarah gave up coffee — accidentally! Then they talk to fellow TV writer, Sarah Watson, about what it was like to have her Fox pilot shut down due to Covid-19. She went from producing a pilot and promoting her first novel, MOST LIKELY, to.... sitting in her house. How did she deal with the sudden absence of adrenaline? In Mailroom, Liz and Sarah answer a question about how they come up with character names. Finally, this week’s practical Hollywood Hack will help you grocery shop safely: the You Tube video, PSA Safe Grocery Shopping In Covid-19 Pandemic.
