Episode 10 of Jett Road Studios Presents is the pilot for Dwelling with Lauren Weedman. Lauren is an actress who has recurring roles on shows like Hacks, Abbott Elementary, and Sirens. She is also an accomplished performer who is a host of The Moth, and has written two books. By almost any measure, Lauren Weedman has "made it," but that is not what this podcast is about. It is about her run-down, rent-controlled apartment building in Santa Monica, CA. Lauren has lived there for over 20 years, and has wanted to get out "since the day she moved in" with her ex-husband, who has since run off with the babysitter. As a single mother, Lauren tries to make her apartment feel like home, and yearns for connection with her neighbors.

In the pilot episode, Lauren talks to friend and fellow Moth host Brian Finkelstein, as she embarks on her quest to get to know the people in her building. She also sits down for a revealing conversation with her upstairs neighbor Ella Mové, who is about to embark on a journey of her own.

Episode 8 of Jett Road Studios Presents is the pilot for GENeration miXed, hosted by Eddie Gorton. The podcast explores what it is like growing up mixed in America. Eddie Gorton is an elementary school principal and stand-up comedian, who is a part of The Loving Generation, a baby boom of mixed-race children born between 1967 and 1980. His father was black, and his mother was white, but he grew up in an all-white household, with little guidance of how to navigate the world as a black male in the Bay Area.

For the pilot, Eddie sits down with Ashley Rouse, who is the Executive Director of the Edible Schoolyard Project at the Alice Waters Institute for Edible Education in Berkeley, CA. Ashley was also born to a black father, and white mother. Ashley also grew up in an all-white household, and had many unanswered questions while growing up in Atlanta, GA. In the fascinating conversation that follows, Eddie and Ashley compare notes on growing up mixed in America, "before looking American was cool."
