This week Stauney and Sadie are diving deep into one of television's greatest empires, Shondaland, run by the great storyteller Shonda Rhimes. We discuss Rhime's childhood, her history with ABC, and her revolutionary deal with Netflix. We then spend some time on each of her long-lasting shows and their impact on the future of television, including Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, Inventing Anna, Queen Charlotte, and Bridgerton. Shondaland has changed the way women's stories are told on television, allowed more complex stories to take place, and also made diversity a top priority so that the screen finally mirrors the world around us.
