It's been a couple years since the first episode of #TheFourWoodsPodcast dropped, but the team behind the production of the podcast (that is, me, Cass) is getting ready to return to production.
However, we won't be starting anything anytime soon for two reasons. 1/6 🧵
The first is financial. I've been crunching numbers for how much money would be needed to pay everyone involved to produce a season of the podcast and I currently do not have this money, so production cannot move forward. However, I am looking into possible Patreon rewards 2/6
as well as to make sure that the advent of AI does not remove writers' rooms from productions across the nation. I also stand with SAG-AFTRA (the actors' union, including voice actors) in their negotiations with the AMPTP should they choose to strike. Even though this podcast 4/6
is my own project and to my knowledge myself and none of the actors are union, I feel that doing any work on this podcast beyond creating budgets and Patreon rewards is crossing the picket line, something I refuse to do.
More news about the podcast will be coming 5/6
as soon as it is ready. 6/6

The second reason for the pause in production is related to the current #WGAStrike. I am standing with all of the members of the WGA (the writers' union) in their strike to get better pay from streaming services 3/6
