Episode notes

David Goodman: "I literally grew up hoping to have one of those jobs and then looking into making my own show instead" He says the union has learned about each other's experiences in a way that maybe we hadn't before. And I think it does have a different feeling than 2007 to me," he adds.

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.
