Summary

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: What are the basics of the strike? What is the history here? What exactly do Hollywood writers do? How do they get paid? So why are they striking? (And what does striking mean? Can they not work at all?) What does mandatory staffing mean? What is the AI threat? Some notable things that happened during this strike. What was finally negotiated? 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.

0:08.6	I'm Laura Tremaine and I have 10 things to tell you. And you have 10 things to tell.
0:15.0	This show is about connection,
0:18.0	with each other and with ourselves.
0:20.0	And the hope is that the things we talk about here
0:22.0	will be fuel for better conversations and a personal awareness.
0:26.4	Each episode has a prompt or a topic that I want you to take to your journal, text to a friend,
0:32.0	or share on social media using the hashtag 10
0:34.9	Things to Tell You. This is a show about digging deeper and sharing our
0:39.4	stuff. I'll go first. This is an episode that I have been wanting to do since the spring, but I wasn't
0:48.1	quite sure how to approach it to be honest and I also wasn't sure if a topic like this fit on a show like 10 things to tell you, which aims primarily to foster connection.
1:00.0	But you know what else this show is about?

1:06.0	starters,
1:08.0	which is why I'm always trying to pick topics that will interest you
1:11.0	that you want to hear more about or that will spark a good
1:14.5	conversation in your life. I also found from the listener survey this summer that
1:20.5	y'all do want more culturally relevant topics covered here on the show.
1:26.0	Specifically, some of you said you wanted a peak sometimes into the Los Angeles part of my life and how living in Hollywood forms parts of my perspective.

1:44.7	And then of course, the Actor's Strike that followed.
1:47.8	So this is something that, like I said,
