Why 13 Reasons Why Dedicated an Episode to Producer Steve Golin

If you've already watched the first new episode of 13 Reasons Why [1], you're probably asking, who is Steve Golin? The name appears in a dedication at the end of the first episode of the newly released third season [2] of the Netflix drama. Although Golin probably isn't a name familiar to most casual viewers, he's actually been a big part of some of your favourite movies and TV shows of the past decades.
