WILD

Documentary #108

NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING is a new show about how difficult – but not impossible – it is to make something actually good in Hollywood. Join LAist and The Black List each week as we put your favorite actors, directors, and writers through the wringer to see if they’ve got what it takes to make a successful movie or TV show – with, of course, an escalating series of helpful studio executive notes. In the process, we’ll poke fun at the industry we know and love, and see if famed screenwriter William Goldman was right when he said, “Nobody knows anything.”

NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING is hosted by Franklin Leonard, founder and CEO of The Black List, a platform that helps Hollywood discover great scripts. The show is a production of The Black List and LAist Studios, in partnership with The Ankler. New episodes drop weekly on Tuesdays and can also be heard on LAist 89.3 on weekends.

    Just Inside Baseball Enough to Score
    You don’t have to live or work in Hollywood for this to be wildly entertaining, but it doesn’t hurt. And it reminds me not to be so pleased with myself when I come up with a good story idea, because the guest contestants create nine decent movie pitches off the top of their heads every week.

    Don’t listen while driving. You may laugh so hard that you are a danger to yourself and others

    10/10 No Notes
    Never knew I needed this love child of Script Notes and Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me until now.

    Loved Wild, why are they reusing the feed
    I loved Wild, but why did they put Nobody Knows Anything in this feed? It’s a completely unrelated podcast, not remotely similar, so it’s not like you could imagine someone who enjoyed Wild would also enjoy a game show about celebrities (????). I will be unsubscribing, I left it subscribed in the hopes that more Wild would eventually be made.

    Love!!!
    This podcast is sooo great. I was in a podcast stump not able to find anything good but I literally have been putting this on every second. I love it. Juicy story
  • JannyB1
    Just enchanting!!!
    "Wild," the podcast, is a captivating journey guided by Eric's compelling voice. His honesty and vulnerability bring a refreshing authenticity to each episode, creating a profound connection with the audience. Eric's ability to share personal experiences in such a genuine manner adds depth and relatability, making "Wild" a standout in the podcast landscape. Highly recommended for those seeking a genuine and engaging listening experience. I laughed and I cried and I can’t wait for season 3!!!!!

    Just Awesomeness!
    Love it all! When is the next season? Please keep it going! ❤️

    Bunch of whining
    Hadn’t been so annoyed by wanting to like something and then finding I had just wasted my time listening to this show. Would rather put up with a silent, horrible commute than be stuck in the car listening to this crap. And that’s saying a lot since I like roadtrips.

    This podcast has invented a new genre, it’s a mix of fiction and memoir and I dunno, the kind of podcast that makes you feel like you’re at a diner with your friend hearing a sweet, extremely detailed story. It really takes you to a comfy place. Having Megan on the mic is what twists the show into something you’ve never heard before.
  • ScorpioSun25
    Perfect summer podcast!
    Season 2 is the perfect summer kickoff—a road trip story with lots of twists. Funny, sweet, surprising and keeps me engaged the whole time. Can’t wait for the next episodes, this is definitely one of the best audio fiction podcasts I’ve listened to!
  • AllieRobertaAnne
    Incredible podcast! ❤️
    WILD is must listen! It’s a blend of sparkling wit, humor, soul-stirring moments, and relatability that hooks you right in. The compelling writing is brought to life with sound design so immersive, you could almost touch it! As hosts, Erick & Megan embody authenticity, charm, and humor so infectious, you'll find yourself laughing along. When listening, it feels like they're your old friends. This podcast is definitely setting the stage for a new genre! Hats off to all who made it happen!
  • road rage paige
    Amazing!!!
    So real! It’s so familiar and speaks volumes to how we have to navigate being in American society but with Mexican roots and never being Mexican or American enough to assimilate in either world.
  • Acheroii
    Hilarious
    Worth the listen!

    Episode 7
    This was the first episode, I listened to because I wanted a pick me up. A podcast bout love “infused with love”. I was extremely triggered to hear about this woman being raped, repeatedly, without a warning or anything. I was furious that this was published w/o any warning. This was beyond disturbing and there should be a discloser in the beginning of this episode or at least before the subject is spoken about (podcaster’s fault, not the woman). They should be more considerate of their listeners. I will never listen to an episode of this show again.

    Leprechauns and Abuelitas
    This “red-headed elf” is teaching me (a 72-year-old abuela) stuff she should have known long ago!! Thank you for strengthening my pride in being Mexican (yeah, yeah, I know “you’re an AMERICAN first”- let’s not go there for now). Keep it up!! I need me more education!!
  • a summer wasting
    Real, sweet, excellent concept
    The creators of this show wanted to bring joy to a weary world. I believe they have done that with this podcast about the ups and downs of human existence. Megan Tan’s episode was a beautiful highlight about falling in and out of love during the pandemic that made me swoon and sigh. Love!!!!!

    As A Child In L.A.
    People always say to me,”No one is actually FROM L.A.” I am. I grew up in a one room duplex in Glendale… where my Mom gave my sister and I the only bedroom to share. She slept on a fold out couch (you could feel the bar through) in the “living room”. We slept on these mini fold out foam-couch-chairs, that, in retrospect we’re more like video game chairs. I’m not Latino, but being a poor family in L.A. with a single mother working in a Catholic School so we could get a good education… I just bawled at the beautiful idea of giving my past mother/family that gift. Thanks for the beautiful podcast. You made me cry like a baby.

  • BrysonArms
    A beautiful and touching podcast!
    This should be mandatory listening to understand the pandemics effects on every walk of life in the US. The host Erick is phenomenal and all the guests speak so beautifully on the subjects of their lives. Give this a listen!
  • ohhare1
    Can we re-title this show?
    Maybe they don’t understand the meaning of the word….

    My warm hug from LA
    I am from southeast LA, and just recently moved out of state to Oregon. Listening to WILD and the various stories of some of the beautiful people in Los Angeles feels like a the warm hug I needed from home. The storytelling is phenomenal, and the length is just right for my commutes. Thank you, Eric. Can’t wait for the rest of the episodes!
  • mangohappiness
    Love from a Boomer
    So much heart, so much brains, so much strength. Thank you for giving me your experiences from across the age “gap” (when we speak of humanity does a gap actually exist?). And thank you for sharing the vitality of your culture.
  • Jen in ATL

    My Favorite Podcast
    Love this podcast, the host, the unique and genuine stories.
  • HessenLily
    I didn’t know I needed this.
    Listening to Mr. Galindo talk about his father and going home on his OWN terms just had me crying while I tried to do my makeup in the morning before work. First generation language is real, thank you for the great conversations here. #lanative #thankyou #gracias

  • Woohoo..U2?
    Very Encouraging!
    Life may be tough but it’s beautiful. Every culture has its own way of seeing the world. Thank you for sharing. LA is very different than rural Northern Michigan and yet my adult kids feel much like the young people in the stories.. I’m a single mom now in middle age… when my kids help me, it’s like the parents in the home story.. all the seeds I sowed and everything I have given is starting to come back to me. It was beautifully expressed in your episode. Can’t wait to hear more.
  • leandrop1989

    Finally something I can relate to!
    This podcast tugs at the right strings in my heart. It feels relatable, it feels like home. Listening to these podcasts brings the right kind of nostalgia and peace that makes my drive to work or just hanging out at home more smooth.
