This episode is for anyone who cares about tv and movies. 

I have 10 things to tell you about the historic Hollywood strikes of 2023. The Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild have been fighting for wage increases, protection against artificial intelligence, and more. Think it doesn't affect you? Think again!

Here are the 10 Things I talk through in this episode:

1. What are the basics of the strike?

2. What is the history here?

3. What exactly do Hollywood writers do? How do they get paid?

4. So why are they striking? 

5. (And what does striking mean? Can they not work at all?)

6. What does mandatory staffing mean?

7. What is the AI threat?

8. Some notable things that happened during this strike. 

9. What was finally negotiated?

10.  How does this all affect the viewer?

I want this show to be about connection, conversation, and sharing our stuff. The Hollywood strikes are something our family cares about, so I'm sharing it here with you. 

If this episode teaches you something, please share it on social media or with a friend.
