HBO's 'Somebody Somewhere' celebrates friendship and diversity against rural backdrop The creators of the HBO series โ€œSomebody Somewhere" spoke with WPR's "BETA" bout the show's vibe and their wholistic approach to character development.

Hannah Bos: "You are stepping into a very human world of people a little bit later in their life, in their 40s-ish, trying to figure themselves out. And the pilot starts with some grief for Samโ€™s character, and she reconnects with an old friend from high school."

Hey Christine, Thank you for writing FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. I'm really enjoying it and learning a lot about the early history of "America's Finest News Source." I hope that we can talk about your book when we get closer to the pubdate. Congratulations on your book and the Simon Rich blurb!
