I’ve had the privilege to work with the exceptionally talented producer Michael Brosnan on numerous TV, Film, and animated titles over the last fourteen years.  His enthusiasm, his professionalism, and his immense creativity blend with a sense of fun that always makes for a great experience together.  Believe me, when under the pressure of the hot lights on set, a testy director, or tight deadlines, Mike’s cool demeanor, and good humor go a long way.  We’ve knocked down many a pint in Burbank, New York, Chicago, and San Diego discussing Scooby-Doo or Blindspot or Shameless or Vikings.  So I relish any chance I have of working with Mike, and appreciate that he agreed to come on the podcast.
