On today's episode I have 3x Emmy Winning writer, producer, and the king of the fast food review, Bill Oakley!

Bill is somebody that I have wanted to have on the show for quite some time now. He is best known as a legendary writer and showrunner of The Simpsons for Seasons 3-9, as well as his work on Futurama, Portlandia, Disenchantment, and of course Mission Hill. Bill and his longtime writing and producing partner Josh Weinstein will be in San Diego celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Mission Hill on Thursday, July 25th @ 7PM at the Music Box Theater. They will be joined by original cast members, Brian Posehn as well as Herbert Siguenza. Get your tickets before they sell out on the link below.

I talked with Bill about meeting Josh Weinstein in High School, forming their partnership, going to school at Harvard and working on the Lampoon, getting hired on The Simpsons and the iconic episodes he made, how Mission Hill was started, advice for aspiring writers, how the fast food and snack reviews were started, and so much more!

A huge Thank You to Bill Oakley for taking the time to join me on the episode. It was so good getting to know him and learning more about his career. Make sure to grab your tickets for the 25th Anniversary of Mission Hill and follow Bill on all the links at www.onthemicpodcast.com
