The Writers Guild of America has gone on strike. The union is fighting against companies like Netflix, who are trying to eliminate the writer's room and turn us into freelancers. Writer producer in TV now makes 23% less than they did a decade ago. How will this affect your favorite shows? And how might the strike end? We have two amazing guests: David Goodman and Danielle Sanchez-Witzel.

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.
