==Recurring Segments==
===Three-page challenge===
Aspiring screenwriters are encouraged to send in three pages of their screenplay (almost always the first three) to be critiqued. The scripts vary widely in tone, style and genre. Links to the chosen screenplays for any given show (typically three are tackled in sequence) in the show notes so listeners can read them and then listen to their comments. Those that have had their screenplays subjected to John and Craig's critical eyes have typically thanked them from the feedback, which has ranged from congratulatory to despairing. The three-page challenge is a particularly useful segment for screenwriters as it provides sharp insights into unproduced screenplays, lessons easily applied to your own project.
===One Cool Thing===
One Cool Thing is a weekly segment that occurs at the end of each episode. John, Craig, and their guests will each give a plug to someone or something they deem cool. The cool things vary greatly. The segment dates back to May 2012, when John officially started it at the end of episode 35.<ref>http://johnaugust.com/2012/the-disney-dilemma</ref> Since then he has been a faithful participant. Craig's participation was suspect for a time, most notably during a six-week stretch that began in August 2012, but since then he has overcome his umbrage-tinted glasses and regularly found something in the world worth praising every week.
