Episode 100! Thanks for supporting us over nearly five years. To celebrate, we made you a “thank you” gift. It’s a brand new resource we wish we had when we started in this business. It’s completely free, and it will save you hours of time. Plus, a very special tip from Joke. And of course, a tiny bit of nostalgia from the early days of the podcast.

100 Tips, 1 Million Thanks from Joke and Biagio. Episode 100 of Producing Unscripted.

100 Episodes – Because You’re So Great

When we started this podcast, it was for a lot of reasons.

We wanted people to know what it was really like to work in unscripted television, documentary series, and reality TV.

We also hoped we’d meet other filmmakers who might want to team up with us.

(And we’ve met a lot of you! Stay tuned for an upcoming podcast ep with Todd Lindsay. He trusted us with his true crime project. Together, we made it for CNN and HLN.)

And…

It’s Fun

Look, making TV is awesome, but it can also be stressful. We love what we do, but everyone needs to do something that feels like a break from work. Starting this podcast seemed like a fun hobby that might be useful to a few people. As long as it stayed fun, we’d keep it going.

You’ve all made it a blast, and we’re going to continue.

Our Thank You Gift: A Brand New Resource For You

If you’ve been listening to the podcast for awhile, you know we wanted to do something special for episode 100. More importantly, we wanted to do something for all of you.

Now, one thing we’ve heard again and again is that our podcasts are very helpful. But they’re spread out over nearly five years of posts. And while we hope you’ve enjoyed every one of the episodes, do you really remember every little bit of advice? Probably not. We all need reminding (even us!)

So we decided to take the best 100 pieces of advice, and make you a brand new, free ebook:

Unscripted Television: 100 Tips for Breaking In and Career Success.

Unscripted Television: 100 Tips for Breaking In and Career Success. Free Ebook from Joke and Biagio, Producing Unscripted.

Want the free PDF? Head over and share for free download.

Much more than just a list of podcast episodes, this is a nine chapter book organized by topic. It’s your “at a glance” guide to understanding the unscripted television business.

Chapters include:

  • The Basics
  • Story Tips for Unscripted Television and Film
  • Casting
  • Creating Pitch Tapes
  • Pitching Projects
  • Filming and Editing
  • Genre Concerns
  • Legal Concerns
  • TV and Film Production Tips

We kept today’s episode short and (hopefully) fun. Please have a listen, accept our thanks, and feel free to laugh with us a bit. A few things in today’s episode:

  • Thank you!
  • Balancing the ups and downs of the industry
  • Why our new ebook is helpful to new producers and veterans alike
  • Biagio’s wacky numbering system that’s finally paying off
  • A very special tip from Joke
  • And…Biagio’s NBA dreams gone wrong!

Press that giant PLAY button up top for a gleeful episode with a few surprises, and a lot of “thanks” to all of you.
