The Origin Stories of Your Favorite TV Shows, Podcasts and Books
Catch up on Campside co-founder Matt Shaer's show that dives into the creative choices and process of the world's best directors, journalists and showrunners
This is part of Inside the Tent, a series going behind the scenes of Campside’s award winning podcasts and business.
Campside Media’s Origin Stories is a show for anyone curious about the workings of the creative mind. And just a month in, the range of guests and insights is inspiring.
Here’s your chance to catch up:
Start with Patrick Radden Keefe, author of the book Say Nothing. Matt says Patrick is “the best structural architect working in journalism today – a true wizard when it comes to making complex narratives sing.”

Then there’s director and producer Mimi Leder. Matt says, “I jumped at the chance to interview Mimi because of The Morning Show, which I consider to be a wildly sharp depiction of the modern media landscape. But also because I’m inspired by the arc of Mimi’s career and her ability to transition ably between feature film and prestige TV.”

You can also hear from John Hoffman (Only Murders in the Building) and Noah Hawley (Alien: Earth).
Matt also spoke with writer and Hysterical podcast host Dan Taberski, whose interview style was top of mind. Matt said, “It almost always yields unexpected responses from his sources. There’s a connection between Dan and the people he’s writing about – a clear one – and I wanted to understand how he goes about achieving it.”

You should then listen to Matt’s interview with Connie Walker (Stolen: Surviving St. Michael’s), a veteran Cree journalist, and the first podcaster to win both the Pulitzer Prize and a Peabody Award in the same year.
