24. The 2023 WGA Writers Strike (and Project Updates!) – Chase

Good morning ladies and gentlemen! Welcome back to another episode of The IMPROVE Podcast.

 

A lot has happened in the last 3 weeks. The Writer’s Guild of America went on strike, tons of T.V. shows and movies have shut down production as a result, and I started outlining my next project.

 

We have a lot to talk about this week and I hope you enjoy this episode.
