B.J. Pasinger is an aspiring Television Showrunnercurrently working in Los Angeles as a production assistant.

S3:E6 – I Worked With Issa Rae!

It’s been 4 months, but I’m back! In the space of that time, the podcast quietly celebrated its 1 year anniversary, and I had the unforgettable opportunity to work on the set of Insecure, created by Issa Rae. I’m sharing stories from the set of one of my favorite shows (spoiler-free of course) and what I learned in production along the way. It’s good to be back!
