Show Notes
<p dir="ltr">This week, Eric Deggans speaks with Vince Gilligan about his new series, <em>Pluribus</em>. The creator of <em>Breaking Bad</em> and <em>Better Call Saul</em> explains how he felt being at the center of his first-ever bidding war, and how a long-standing partnership with Sony ultimately brought the project to Apple. Gilligan also reflects on why the days of writing episodic television on <em>The X-Files</em> shaped his love of serialized storytelling. And after years of explaining his work to fans and critics alike, Gilligan shares why he’s learning to let audiences decide what his shows mean for themselves.</p>
