Interview (Audio): Craig Mazin

Q&A with the writer-producer of the acclaimed HBO mini-series Chernobyl.

A 50+ minute “On Story” podcast interview with Craig Mazin. Best known for comedies such as The Hangover Part II, Part III, and Identity Thief, Chernobyl represents a departure in terms of content. Safe to say Craig nailed it seeing as the series won multiple Golden Globe and Emmy Awards.

In this conversation, Craig talks about how he became interested in the tragic events which transpired in Chernobyl and how he made the transition from movies to writing television.
