530 - The One with Jack Thorne

<p>John and Craig welcome writer/producer/playwright Jack Thorne (The Aeronauts, Wonder, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) to take a look at making television in the UK and what writers on both sides of the pond can learn from one another.</p> <p>We discuss disability on and behind screen and tackle listener questions on writing with chronic illness and the responsibility of authorship. We wrap up by taking a look at goals you can control.</p> <p>In our bonus segment for premium members the guys compare American and British English. They answer tough questions like, is it cultural appropriation if John puts a U in color?</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxUZPMBRIPU">Jack Thorne’s MacTaggart Lecture</a></li> <li><a href= "https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/jack-thorne-underlying-health-conditions-1235125435/"> Jack Thorne Launches Underlying Health Conditions Pressure Group, Publishes Major Report Into Disabled Representation in TV Industry</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.1in4coalition.org/">1 in 4 Coalition</a></li> <li><a href= "https://twitter.com/ashleyn1cole/status/1460703224285908993?s=20">Ashley Nicole Black and Francesca Ramsey Twitter Thread</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089961/">Santa Claus: The Movie</a> a celebratory portrayal of Father Christmas</li> <li><a href= "https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions?wprov=wppw1"> Wikipedia List of Misconceptions</a></li> <li><a href= "https://cottonbureau.com/people/scriptnotes-podcast">Get a Scriptnotes T-shirt!</a></li> <li><a href="https://scriptnotes.supportingcast.fm/gifts">Gift a Scriptnotes Subscription</a> or <a href= "https://scriptnotes.supportingcast.fm/">treat yourself to a premium subscription!</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2113666/">Jack Thorne</a> on IMDb</li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/clmazin">Craig Mazin</a> on Twitter</li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/johnaugust">John August</a> on Twitter</li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/johnaugust/?hl=en"
