From Oaxaca to California to NYC, #InRealLife shows all sides of the booming mezcal industry. As demand grows, it's creating an agave arms race across borders. @jackiebaylon host/prod, John Stish editing, Claire Molloy, @kclancymedia, @leslyedavis on cam. https://t.co/WP52Vgbcjy

Working with @BryantCP and the #InTheLoop team to create a truly fresh take on the nightly news format was such a special experience. CB and the crew put creativity and hard work into every episode to make ITL something special.

[Christian Bryant @BryantCP]

SOME NEWS: #InTheLoop, the dive bar of news shows, is closing up shop. In 3 years, we produced nearly 700(!) shows that sought to give people a different take on nightly news. Incredibly proud of this stone-cold pack of weirdos and what we accomplished along the way. (1/?)

This SUNDAY on @scrippsnews check out In Real Life: Injected. It's a continuation on a nearly four-year investigation into how paramedics use ketamine to sedate people who they say are agitated. Sometimes, those people are also restrained by police. So many perspectives! 9pmET.

[Zach Toombs @zachtoombs]

Stunt drivers, a man on fire, and the martial artists of #EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce are all part of our latest episode of #InRealLife. Hosted by @CaseyMdoza, produced by @TravisAlexandra, DP'd and edited by Kyle Pyatt, this ep has some sizzle on it https://t.co/ClZGDdtant

[Casey Mendoza @CaseyMdoza]

Fights. Fire. Fast Cars.

Every stunt you see on screen is crafted by an entire team of performers, choreographers + coordinators for the sake of story, style and safety.

This Sunday on @ScrippsNews, I’m excited to introduce y’all to some of the most talented folks in the biz.

[Zach Toombs @zachtoombs]

Industry insiders and some awesome animation take us through the rise and fall of FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried in our #InRealLife season premiere "Crypto Crash." Full episode for @scrippsnews here: https://t.co/IlssNdcGRV
