In this episode, we chat with Bill Oakley. Bill is a writer and producer and a former showrunner on The Simpsons. This is really interesting chat about Bill's path from high school to landing a job on The Simpsons and beyond, and why he and writing partner Josh Weinstein left The Simpsons. This is a great listen for creators looking to reach the next stage of their career. We also talk about Bill's process, and how that differs now to earlier in his career and the other fun projects he's working on.
