Another year, another strike. On our very first episode, back in 2023, we covered the actors’ union strike in the US. We return to the topic as SAG AFTRA is leading what may become the longest strike in the history of the union. To give it its full name - The Interactive Media (Video Game) Strike.

The main sticking point? Yep - AI.

Tim Friedlander, voice-actor and President of NAVA, the National Association of Voice Actors, makes a welcome return to take us through the strike, the early signs from the new US administration and some surprising tangents.
