Bonus Episode #44 - WGA Strike and a Swift Rant

Fandom on the Rocks

Fandom on the Rocks stands in solidarity with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA and are acting accordingly.

Though we are not Union members, we support the on-going strike in search of fair contracts and will be following the WGA and SAG-AFTRA rules regarding the promotion of struck work. This includes podcasts.

We will continue to post new bonus episodes (like this one!) about non-struck work (music! books! food! ourselves!) until the strike ends and a fair contract is negotiated.

Here are a few key notes from the FAQs about podcasts:

What kind of podcast work is NOT allowed during the strike?

• Hosts: If you are under contract, you should honor your contract. If you self-produce your podcast, do not promote struck work - past, current, or upcoming - as part of your podcast.

What about “rewatch” or “companion” podcasts relating to struck work? Are they considered promotional?

• Yes, they are considered promotional. Rewatch and companion shows drive people to the struck companies’ platforms to watch the shows promoted by your podcast. We must stand together to show those companies our power and influence so they will provide performers with a fair contract.

Please take a look a the organizations' websites to see how you might be able to support the writers and creators of the content you love.

Please enjoy this episode and know that we will be recording episodes of Glee on the Rocks during the strike to be able to post them when the strike ends.

In love and solidarity.
