In the first episode of 2026, Jamie is joined by writer, executive producer and founder of MsMono, Karla Williams Posiuniene, for an honest conversation about taking control of your creative career and what it’s really like being a writer in a changing media landscape.
Karla opened up about:
🎬 Breaking into the industry as a writer
🎭 Why she chose to part ways with her agent and how that decision served her better
🏗️ Building her own production company, MsMono
📚 The biggest lessons she’s learned in her career so far
📺 Writing for Grantchester
🔄 What she wishes she’d known when she first started out
📉 How the industry is changing fast

A really honest conversation about resilience, ownership, and building a creative career on your own terms.
