Episode notes

"I've always appreciated being a member of a union. I certainly jumped into the deep end here on a negotiating committee that turned into strike action," she says. "Until you're in there, I say to members of our union get on a committee and just get involved because I think seeing it up close, I think you have a much deeper appreciation for the staff."

For the first time in over 15 years, the Writers Guild of America is on strike. Your favorite shows and movies are at risk, but so is the livelihood of thousands of writers, and the future of writing as a viable career. This week, Adam is joined by fellow writers and WGA negotiating committee members Danielle Sanchez-Witzel and David A. Goodman to discuss how we got here, what's at stake, and what needs to happen to secure a sustainable life for writers everywhere.
