"I always assume I have absolutely no value," she says. "Companies understand how much they need us, but they're never going to acknowledge it and they never have to." Writer's union has opened door wider in last three years for stories of underrepresented communities,. That's incredible. There's universality in all of those stories. They just haven't had a chance to be told in movies and TV".

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.
