"It’s rare that you get viable advice for life from a TV sitcom, let alone a promotional appendage to a TV sitcom. But The Good Place: The Podcast isn’t just any promotional appendage," says Sam Adams. The podcast hosted by Marc Evan Jackson -- who plays head demon Shawn on the NBC comedy -- is "a portrait of a sane and harmonious workplace in an industry that often treats those qualities as incidental and even inimical to the creation of art," says Adams, adding: "It’s one thing to repeat the old saw that TV is a collaborative medium, another to spend as much time with the head of the props department or the visual effects supervisor as with some of the show’s stars."
