Sam and Emma are joined by comedian and writer Adam Conover to give an update on the WGA writers strike.
Adam Conover then talks Sam through updates on the writers’ strike as it reaches its fifth week, tackling the scope of the issues – from the gigification of the job to the labor threat of AI – and exploring why the Film and TV CEOs are so intent on breaking age-old norms of how to make good products just to save a few bucks. Wrapping up, Adam walks through the Guild’s proposals and the value of both intra-union and inter-union solidarity.
