Episode notes

Orange is the New Black actor Alyssa Milano says Hollywood needs to re-think its business model. She argues that studios and TV production companies have been moving towards acting more like tech companies. As long as the strike goes on, what do we expect for actors and writers? "I could know what's ahead I feel the future of this industry," Milano said.

The actors are officially on strike. Vox senior correspondent and critic Alissa Wilkinson breaks down what SAG-AFTRA is afta, and the New Yorker’s Michael Schulman explains how one of Netflix’s first original shows was an early warning sign.

This episode was produced by Amanda Lewellyn, edited by Amina Al-Sadi, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Noel King.
