Strikers Phone it In

Friday, February 01, 2008

As the Writers Guild of America enters the fourth month of its strike, Kurt checks in with union members in Hollywood and New York. If “pencils down” means pencils down, just what exactly are they doing with their time? We find out from David Milch, Bruce Feirstein, Maggie Bandur, and Andy Breckman.

Guests:

Andy Breckman? I have his CD! In his bio and in the show, there was never a mention about his life as a singer/songwriter! I did not make the connection until I heard him on the interview. I got "Don't Get Killed" several years ago, and listen to it often.

Andy... if the writers strike goes on... just go back to music and performing!

I LOVE this segment. As an amateur writer, I sympathize with the writers. It's good to hear that they are finding ways to survive inspite of the strike--at least the ones you spoke to.
