But we just heard the news that it’s been canceled, so we need you to do your part as a fan: tweet, write to, and shout out in any way you can this show to Hulu and other networks, so they take notice and pick it up. And we have a special incentive for you: our latest Whachudoin’? is with Katie Mathewson, one of Pitch’s writers.
Listen in as Sherin and Monique talk with Katie about her time writing for the FOX TV show, and what she’s watching in her spare time. They also discuss why platonic relationships onscreen are so important, writing complex (and a little bit messed up) characters, digging into the rich history of baseball and the often rags-to-riches stories behind players and so many things…
