Hello and welcome to the 49 Degrees North Spotlight, a look back at classic episodes from the 49 Degrees North writers podcast about Canadian writers and the business of writing. Where to start? Well, why not at the beginning!

49 dn podcast

This was the first ever episode of the show (which you may be able to tell from the audio), and featured the talents of TV writer Natty Moher. There’s so much great advice and ideas in this episode that I keep going back to it for inspiration.

Natty revealed he wrote his first TV script when he was only 12 years old (?!?!?!?!?!!?!), and even made his own TV pilot before finally breaking in as a comedy writer. He now works in comedy, drama, and animation, and shares many insights for other writers to imbibe, including the need to be creative and to take risks.

Check out this episode and let me know what you think!
