  "textContent": "**Episode 203: Joel Kim Booster Interview**\n\nThis is the aftershow for Here, After, featuring a conversation with writer, actor, and comedian Joel Kim Booster. Joel is known for writing and starring in _Fire Island_ and for his work on _The Other Two_ and _Big Mouth_. As an actor, he's appeared in _Loot_ , _Search Party_ , _Shrill_ , and more.\n\nIn this wide-ranging conversation, Joel talks about his early days as a playwright, the television shows and performers that inspired him to pursue comedy and TV writing, and the long, unusual journey that brought _Fire Island_ from concept to hit feature film.\n\nHe also shares the ambitious plans he had for _Here After_ , revealing storylines and character arcs that make the loss of this pilot feel especially painful.\n\nAlong the way, Joel offers an honest look at the realities of today's television and film industry and reflects on why he still thinks of himself as a writer first, even after finding success as a performer.\n\nThe next Dead Pilots Society live show is at the Elysian Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, July 12th. The show will feature readings of **Weekly World News** by Michael Colton and John Aboud, and **Fan Girl** by Claudia Lonow. Go to https://www.elysiantheater.com/ to get your tickets.",
