We talk to entertainment workers on the picket lines in LA and NYC about the ongoing WGA & SAG-AFTRA strikes. Topics include the threat of AI-generated writing for television, negotiating likeness ownership, the impact of AI on the industry, lack of transparency in streaming platforms, absence of objective metrics in determining content worth, a wealthy individual's dislike for movies and TV shows, the need for creative control, and solidarity among unions and workers.

Acclaimed actor Bex Taylor-Klaus joins Josh to talk about growing up Jewish, queer, and southern, finding joy on the darkest timeline, how acting in life translates to acting on screen, and becoming a teenage tree. They also discuss their love for musicals, how to fully inhabit a role, electric vehicles, charity support, tabletop role-playing games, and their excitement for gaming and role-playing ideas.
