The Strike to Keep Hollywood Human, with Adam Conover
Summary
<p>Comedian and Writer’s Guild negotiator, Adam Conover joins Offline to talk about how the ethos of Silicon Valley has affected the livelihoods of writers, actors and everyone in the entertainment industry. He gives Jon a behind the scenes look at why Hollywood’s workers and bosses have been so far apart in these negotiations. And they talk about the way streaming era jobs differ from cable era jobs, why, after a decade of streaming, studios look like they’re starting to rebuild a version of the old cable model, and why he’s not afraid of being replaced by artificial intelligence anytime soon.</p><p> </p><p>For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click <a href="https://youtu.be/-zD2Ya1FFuQ">here</a>.
