Create Competition Reality Shows

Producing Unscripted Podcast with Joke and Biagio - Today: Create Competition Reality Shows - 3 Keys for Success. Many, many of you have asked questions about how to create competition reality shows (although they can be much harder to sell than docu-style shows.)

BTW, as promised in the podcast, here’s the EPK from Scream Queens, which was our first real-world test to prove we knew how to create competition reality shows.
