As someone who makes these kinds of scripted podcasts, I recommend you take a close look at what the demand is for shows of this type. And I mean demand by listeners and distributors. And then take a look at how many - or how few - podcast writers are under WGA agreements. This is no path for you unless you have the passion for it. It’s certainly no shortcut to getting your TV or film project made. This is a lot of hullabaloo about almost nothing.
I listened to the strikegeist episode of the podcast and just wanted to make a point about all the scripts that were rushed in before the deadline.
First, there has never in the history of Hollywood been a draft of episodic television where the studio decides to shoot the whites. They ALWAYS have notes. And as long as the writers are on strike, there is no one to implement them.
Let's say they decide to shoot the whites (which they won’t), once the actors see the script, they'll have their own thoughts, questions and things they want changed.
Anyone who changes a word of that white draft will be considered a scab - from an aspiring writer to a director who’s in the WGA as well as the DGA.
I don't think there’s much to worry about in terms of that last mad rush of scripts actually being produced.
