The Ankler
The Ankler stands as the premier brand of Ankler Media, which was established in January 2022 under the leadership of Janice Min, CEO and editor-in-chief, alongside Richard Rushfield, who serves as the editorial director and chief columnist. Recognized by the New York Times as a "hit Hollywood newsletter" and featured in Fast Company's list of "9 Newsletters That Make You Smarter," The Ankler newsletter began in 2017 and rapidly gained attention as a leading voice in entertainment industry coverage. Founded by seasoned journalist Rushfield, it offers a clever and incisive alternative to conventional trade reporting, quickly becoming a grassroots favorite among industry professionals, often referred to as the weekly "Memo to Hollywood."

You’ll be able to hear the whole conversation on an upcoming episode of the pod, which is busier than ever these days. We’ll have special weekend episodes this Saturday and Sunday featuring even more interviews with contenders, including some I had the rare treat of conducting in person.

âYou know, Iâm 45 all of a sudden,â says Jason Segel, with the air of surprise that feels familiar for anyone who may have recently hit a milestone birthday.

And tonight I’ll be the one hosting the live podcast, talking to the creators and director of High Potential and the show’s star, Kaitlin Olson.
