Episode notes

Joining a show like Family Guy can completely change one's career as a writer.
The purpose of the writers' guild is to help writers ride out rough spots and have long-lasting careers.
The speaker values the existence of the writers' guild and wants to ensure its continuation for others.
Being on the picket line as a writer fighting against the machinery of capitalism is a humbling experience.

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.
