613 - Entering the Post-Strike Era
b'
John and Craig take an in-depth look at the deal points of the WGA\\u2019s tentative agreement with the AMPTP, which ended the 2023 WGA strike after 148 days. Together they break down what gains were made, how they work, and why they are important for writers everywhere.
We also open a time-capsule email from 2018, follow up on five year old predictions, and send our predictions for 2028 off into the future.
In our bonus segment for premium members, John and Craig discuss a topic we\\u2019ve slept on for too long: dreams!
