#179: After 118 days, the longest strike in the history of the Screen Actors Guild is over. The strike officially ended at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday after the union and the group representing film and television studios reached a tentative agreement on a new contract on Wednesday.

There’s still a lot that isn’t known about the deal. And SAG members still need to vote on it. But regardless, its going to be a long road before things are back to normal, especially for those non-union Hollywood businesses that have been out of work. 

LAist reporter Robert Garrova has been covering the Hollywood strikes since the Writers Guild first hit the picket line back in May and joined us to explain what's known so far about the deal.

And later in the episode we check back in with Pamela Elyea who co-owns the prop shop "History for Hire" in North Hollywood – and hear how she has managed with writers and actors on strike for so many months and why she is calling for a Business Interruption Fund.
