In this Socially Acceptable Podcast, I chat with comedy scriptwriter and producer Andrew Maj, who has worked on iconic Aussie TV shows like The Comedy Company and Fast Forward. We chat about how storytelling has evolved from free-to-air TV shows of the late '80s and '90s, to today's digital media channels.
