Description

Claire Gordon is the showrunner and an executive producer of "Explained" on Netflix, produced by Vox Media. Previously, she was a senior producer for two Emmy Award-winning seasons of the HBO show "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver," where the segment she produced on abortion restrictions won Television Academy Honors for using television to promote social change. On this episode, Claire shares how Vox and Last Week Tonight are able to simplify complex topics or news stories and communicate clearly through video. She also discusses how the team was able to produce the first episode of Explained: Coronavirus in just 2.5 weeks—four times faster than their typical timeline.https://www.roughcutpodcast.com/Find Rough Cut on InstagramFind Host Jennie Butler on InstagramFind Producer Sky Dylan-Robbins on Instagram
