Julie Plec was a guest on the Plus One Per Diem radio show this morning, co-hosted by filmmaker Kevin Smith and Jen Schwalbach (they happen to be married to each other). It was a super fun and candid chat, covering Vampire Diaries (Julie revealed that Rebecca Sonnenshine has joined the writing team), Kyle XY, and a brilliant discussion of how fans are watching TV nowadays and the struggle of studios and networks to adapt. (Seriously, the interview is a MUST LISTEN for this discussion alone.) And Jason “Jay” Mewes (he’s a big fan of the show) also joined the discussion to talk Originals and Ripper!Stefan.
LISTEN TO THE FULL SHOW AT PLUS ONE PER DIEM (scroll down) or DOWNLOAD VIA iTUNES. Julie shows up about an hour into the episode, FYI.
