Joy In The Silence with Hannah Bos & Paul Thureen

It was such an honor and privilege for Shay to sit down with the creators of “Somebody Somewhere”, Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen, to talk about this groundbreaking show. Not gonna lie, Shay is a HUGE fan and was so excited to get the chance to watch the new season before anyone else PLUS get the inside scoop from two fantastic writers! 

Hannah and Paul are best friends, writers, actors, and both grew up in the midwest. Paul talks about growing up in rural Minnesota and Hannah about the suburbs of Chicago. They explain how art and theater are something that gave them a sense of self during their teen years and the beauty of chosen family. 

The show is unique in that it is unabashedly queer, but also takes seriously rural life, family, and religion and much of this comes from the intention of Hannah and Paul to showcase the joy in the silence.
