Episode 2.4 - Checka Propper

A conversation with Checka Propper and Amy Smilovic. Checka is the Head of Television at Color Force, the production company behind The Hunger Games franchise, American Crime Story, and Love Story — the limited series chronicling the relationship between JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy that became the most-watched limited series in FX history, accumulating over 65 million hours streamed in its first season.

Throughout the conversation, Amy and Checka discuss what it actually means to build a career from curiosity rather than a plan — how a kid outside Philadelphia who struggled with learning disabilities found refuge in the patterns of television, and how that eventually became the instinct she uses to decide what stories are worth telling. They get into the adjectives Checka uses to evaluate everything from the shows she develops to the networks she develops them for, the difference between following a gut and being able to articulate why the gut is right, and what it looks like to produce one of the most culturally resonant shows of the year — its controversies included — alongside one of Hollywood's most singular creative forces. And because Amy and Checka's relationship began with a DM about personal style in the middle of a pandemic, when Checka felt like she had lost her sense of self somewhere inside a very successful career, the conversation ends where it started: with the question of who you are when the title gets stripped away, and what it takes to find your way back.
