What do striking writers and out of work performers do to keep their creativity flowing? They put on live shows whose proceeds go to help those affected by the strike, at The Strike Show.

  • Great pod.

    You really managed to capture an interesting angle: I've been wondering what they have been doing with their creative energy for the past 2 months. The fundraising event gave the piece a really nice lens to take a new look at it.

    The piece moved really well -- with use of your interview footage and, strike sequences and then the footage from the video pieces.

    You managed to capture a good sense of the conflict of all these super-creative funny people being out of work -- they have to do something to keep from going absolutely crazy.

    I would have liked to have heard a bit more about how many people are on strike exactly -- but you really had some good bytes in there about how the entire industry is basically on strike in solidarity.

    Nice job -- a fresh slant on a news item that was really funny and lighthearted.

  • I thought this piece was very creative. It was creative in a sense of taking an issue that is , currently, very serious and turning it into humor! I mean, there are people who are seriously affected by the strike and acting/writing/producing was probably their means to be able to get their next meal. I never even heard of this fundraiser and I think it was a very unique idea. The pod moved really well and kept a really nice pace. I really liked the interviews as well because they made me see these, otherwised glamorized, actors in a completely humbling and different light. Loved it!
