The idea
What an episode screenplay is
Page one is the master guide.
This page is where it gets written for each episode.
The master guide lays out the structure every episode follows. As we go, each episode gets its own guide built on it, written for that guest and that lesson, with the exact questions, the strongest moments to hunt for, and every beat mapped out, so nothing is left to guesswork on the day.
- The arc card
The front page of every episode guide: the promise, story, mirror, proof, lesson, stakes and next, on one card.
