44 SAG-AFTRA | Spring 2023 | sagaftra.org Podcast News "Scripted podcasts today are so important for content creators looking for new ways to tell stories. With the MicroPod contract, it was a way for us to not have to decide if we were working with the union or not. We got to say [to the union], 'Hey, we want to tell great stories and explore this new platform and have it be an awesome experience.'" Jason Silva, Podcaster Everything You Need to Know About the New SAG-AFTRA Podcast Agreements "I grew up in a state where you [didn't] see unions have a strong presence, so [I've really received] an education on what unions have brought over the past 100 years, and it's great to see this upswing of unionization happening across the country." Jordan Pascale, Broadcaster Organizing in America: Two Broadcast Stations Share Their Success Stories "I see [AI] as a means to make my [work] easier, but I'm not actually using it to replace my style, my writing, my creativity. It's augmenting rather than automating, and I think that it is something that is going to be one that causes a huge public fury, and not only in entertainment, but across [other] industries."
