Joining the podcast is Ben Jenkins, the creator and one of the writers of the new six-part Stan Original series *The Killings at Parrish Station,* a cosmic horror drama that releases on the streamer on June 24. Set across two time periods – 1987 and present day – it begins when a gruesome massacre at a remote research station plunges a detective (played in the past by Mia Wasikowska and in the present by Heather Mitchell) into an inexplicable, decades-long mystery.
Throughout the episode Ben talks about his career journey from stand-up comedy to working on *The Chaser,* and as writer, producer and presenter on *The Checkout* before his time on *The Feed* – and how his years in sketch comedy have informed him as a writer. He talks about tackling a drama set across different time periods, how he collaborated with writers Tim Pye, Catherine Smyth-McMullen and Yolanda Ramke to draft episodes, how to maintain the core idea of a story over years of development, and much more.
