"I just made a show for Netflix. I've been making television for 20 years, 19 of those years I was making broadcast TV," she says. "Netflix came along and decided to try to only hire writers for pre-production ... that's the time when we're coming up with the stories" She adds: "That model's actually breaking the business."

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.
