Today we talk about the hit show of the year, This is Us, and interview the show's executive producer and director, Ken Olin. In addition to the This is Us bonanza, we have a very special co-host! Susie's sister, Gretchen joins the show to take Sarah's place while Sarah is on vacation. We talk about our obsession with This Is Us, and Ken Olin. We go over the show's first season (spoiler alert!), what we think will happen, and which characters we would be if we were on the show. Finally, Susie interviews Ken and asks what it's been like to be a part of not one, but two cultural phenomena. He was a star of 80s cult hit, thirtysomething and now works behind the camera on This Is Us.
