  • Summary

  • Pitching TV shows is tough, lots of great ideas go unsold and never made. What happens to the ideas that never get made? Well they’ve been sitting in a folder on my Desktop. 10 years of pitching and lots of rejection makes for about 300+ unmade pitches. Marc L. Reda, Creative Director, and Luke Miller, Historian, are going to take the unsold and get them a step closer to being told through this new podcast series. Each week Marc and Luke pull a pitch from the archive, discuss the subject, and tell the story as it would’ve played out on your TV. The topics will cover a great range of History both in the US and around the world.
