An Interview with SAG about STRIKES! (unedited)
I'm going to occasionally do interviews with people who work on video games (and maybe also film and TV!) as part of the Play, Watch, Listen YouTube channel, that is technically separate from that podcast. Here's the first one - an interview with a member of the negotiating committee for SAG-AFTRA, Sarah Elmaleh, who I sat down to ask about the video game strikes. Edited version of this will be available on the PWL YouTube channel at 8am PT.
If you have more questions about this please leave them below, and if you have any other people in the games industry you'd like me to interview like this, please let me know!

I recently started to follow PirateSoftware on Twitch and the dude seems to be very passionate about the games industry, have great experience, organising game jams, encouraging people to make games and fighting stupidity of commenters similarly you do. I think it would be interesting to have him on one of these podcasts.
Great video Alanah. As a union member myself I've been really enjoying the labor union content lately. Also I don't know if you have seen it already but the More Perfect Union youtube channel just did a video on the strike and I recommend checking out there website. They have a lot of really good info on labor movements that I highly recommend.
Question: How long are the CBA agreements? And do you have a deadline for negotiations? I mean there has to be a point when it ends right? Hearing they’ve been going on for almost 2 years is insane to me 😂 Side questions: Weed vlog? Podcast w/Rahul coming? Looking forward to those 😂 (Also might wanna check the gaming discord)
Weed vlog will be up this week!!! Podcast w Rahul and Jacob won’t be until October.
