Show Notes

R. Scott Gemmill swore he’d never make another medical drama after “ER.” Good news: We’d argue his hit HBO Max series “The Pitt” is really a workplace drama, anyway. In this episode, “Marketplace” host Kai Ryssdal sits down with Gemmill as he preps to write the show’s third season. They discuss the job of a showrunner, medical minds in the writers room, streaming versus network TV, and more. Plus: Global investors seek safety in U.S. dollars amid Middle East conflict, drone attacks on data centers reveal digital infrastructure weaknesses, and private hiring data signals a moderate jobs bump.
