The Twilight Zone Podcast

Alan Sepinwall returns to The Twilight Zone Podcast as his landmark biography Serling officially hits shelves. In this new conversation, Alan dives deeper into the life and legacy of Rod Serling — expanding on revelations from our first interview and exploring fresh insights that emerged as the book reached its final form.

With Serling now released to the world, Alan joins me once again to talk about the man behind the myth: the writer who reshaped television, the human being who wrestled with trauma, and the cultural force whose influence still echoes through the television world.

It’s a timely, illuminating return — and a perfect companion to the book’s debut.
