Black witches, fanfiction, diversity in period drama, Star Trek. All of these subjects and more will be discussed with actors, creators, journalists, cosplayers and fans on Interspectional.
Interspectional is a podcast focused on having introspective, intersectional discussions about speculative media.
As the WGA and SAG strikes continue, it can be easy to forget why they are on strike in the first place. Many people don't really understand the production process or how things are so bad that professional writers have been willing to stop working for nearly 5 months. In this episode, I speak with veteran TV writer and executive producer, Ricky Manning and staff writer and story editor, Brittany Northcross, about their perspectives on the strikes. They also pull back the veil a bit and talk about working conditions of writers and how that has changed with the advent of streaming. The contrast between Ricky and Brittany's journeys into becoming television writers shows how much the industry has changed and how unforgiving it has been for newer writers over the past decade. This strike about the future of creative labor and invites us all to consider how our work is be respected and used in the greater landscape.
Note: I have consulted with SAG about this episode and have tried to adhere to all necessary guidelines.
