#159: The Writers Guild of America strike came to an end last week. This week, members will vote to ratify the contract. That appears to be on course as — at first review — the deal seems to be a good one, with provisions on streaming residuals and limits on the use of AI. For a better understanding on where things go from here, How to LA brings back two writers we spoke to when the picketing began back in May.
Guests: WGA captain and writer Caroline Renard; TV writer Rafael Agustin.
Here are some specific details of the contract: https://laist.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/historic-writers-strike-ends
