During my last meeting with Kate Moos, I asked if I could sit in on an editorial meeting. She mentioned that they have “cuts & copy” meetings. There, they listen to a rough cut of the program while looking over the script. SOF’s format and aesthetic is unconventional.

Kate allowed me to sit in that editorial today. Much of the 90-minutes flew by as I listened to her, Krista, and three other producers and an intern discuss how to finish or improve a problematic story, or both. I asked a few questions and remembered how much I missed working on a show; the creative process.

As I confided to Kate, I almost forgot that I wasn’t their intern. After their intern offered to help find great readings to fit with the show, I had to prevent myself from volunteering!
