A fascinating listen

This was surprisingly engaging. I am writing my own sitcom here in South Africa and am stoked to find something so informative and enlightening on Audible. I have Jon Vorhaus' book and I remember him referencing Melody Rules although i had no idea it was a real show. Thought it was just an example show. I will make sure that my show is not too broad too bland or too boring.
