  • JRSP-005: History Around You with Krysta Gonzales
    Jan 6 2025

    Episode 5 of Jett Road Studios Presents is the pilot for History Around You, hosted by Krysta Gonzales. The show focuses on family stories that shed light on historical events, and tell a side of the story often glossed over in history book.

    Krysta is originally from Texas, and for the pilot she interviews her mother and grandmother about the San Elizario Salt War, which took place in the El Paso area in the late 1800s. Krysta is a direct decent of Sisto Salcido, a key figure in the conflict. A recent conversation with her mother inspired Krysta to find out more about this important event in her family's history, and the resulting interview (recorded in neighboring Socorro, TX) preserves this valuable knowledge.

    Krysta is an actor and writer who has voiced characters in films like Elemental and Inside Out 2. She and Amber Becton (co-host of Jett Road Studios Presents as well as a costume designer) met recently on a commercial shoot, where they bonded over their shared love of family history. In future episodes Krysta would interview other people with historically significant family stories to preserve.

  • JRSP-003: Pilot Lounge with Madeleine Smithberg - Marc Evan Jackson & Lauren Weedman
    Dec 2 2024

    On Episode 3 of Jett Road Studios Presents, hosts Will & Amber Becton introduce a pilot for the podcast Pilot Lounge, hosted by Daily Show co-creator and original showrunner Madeleine Smithberg. In this podcast Madeleine reunites with past collaborators to revisit failed pilots they made together, in a fun and cathartic way.

    In the first episode Madeleine talks to Marc Evan Jackson (The Good Place, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and Lauren Weedman (Hacks, Abbott Elementary), to talk about pilots they made for None Of Your Business, Little America, and The 5th Hour.

    Madeleine Smithberg has produced countless pilots. After creating The Daily Show with Lizz Winstead (and hiring people like Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, and Ed Helms), Madeleine spent years of her life creating and selling TV shows -- for example, a topical comedy show based on the internet for Al Gore's CURRENT TV, and a late night series for BET called DON'T SLEEP! -- but oftentimes her projects were never seen by the general public. These pilots would be watched by a few development executives, and then die a slow death as networks changed hands, or other circumstances beyond Madeleine's control conspired to keep these comedic gems hidden from the world. In Pilot Lounge, Madeleine seeks to reclaim the original comedic joy of making these shows with people she loves and admires.
