The strikes are over — cue the rewatch podcasts

After 4 (!!) months, the SAG-AFTRA strike has ended. There’s a lot to unpack concerning the contract, however I’ll let the showbiz specialists (learn: not me) deal with that. For our functions, there are a couple of key methods podcasting is affected.

Essentially the most speedy impression will probably be on the rewatch podcasts, which might lastly resume enterprise as regular. As Amrita Khalid reported this summer time, TV rewatch podcasts hosted by exhibits’ former solid members counted as “promotion” and have been due to this fact struck. After an extended lull, we will anticipate a deluge of rewatch content material within the coming weeks. (Christy Carlson Romano, for one, is very excited.)

These exhibits, a lot of which repeatedly rank within the high podcasts on Spotify and Apple, dealt with the strike in plenty of alternative ways. The All the time Sunny Podcast merely has not printed an episode because the strike started. Workplace Women banked plenty of episodes and managed to publish proper to the tip of the strike, including a disclaimer at the start of each episode that the recording occurred pre-strike. Faux Docs, Actual Buddies with Zach and Donald kept away from recapping previous Scrubs episodes and as an alternative centered on interviews. It is usually solely becoming that It’s Not Solely Soccer: Friday Night time Lights and Past acquired derailed by the strike, very similar to its present of origin, and needed to pivot to on a regular basis chat till the season led to September. I hope for me and the opposite FNL girlies that it comes again.
