Writing & the WGA Strike

WGA SAG-AFTRA Strike 2023 Here’s this month’s update for Chica & the Man while we’re on hiatus. I’d like to direct you towards our February 2023 episode about Writing and encourage you to give it a listen. In that episode, we discuss various aspects of writing. We address AI, which is one of the WGA Strike negotiations topics.

I’m an actor with SAG-AFTRA and we are currently on strike, along with the Writers Guild. So, in this month’s update, I’d like to express my admiration for the Writer’s Guild and their strength.

SAG-AFTRA is now on strike, and many of the Hollywood unions have reached unparalleled levels of unity. In this video, Negotiating Committee Co-Chair Chris Keyser discusses what this means and how we should proceed.

The Writers Guild of America negotiation includes several important components: episodic television, streaming channels, artificial intelligence, pension benefits and health. See the link to learn more about the WGA negotiations.

Chica & the Man – AI, Hiatus & Vacations

Chica & the Man - AI, Hiatus & Vacations In this episode, we give our two-cents worth on AI – how we use it as writers. We touch on the concerns of AI regarding the Writers Guild strike. How we, as writers use it. Yes, it is a suitable tool for grammar checks and getting a story idea when stuck, but we both find it lacking for story and plot.

We are going on hiatus for the summer. But we’re not forgetting about you and plan on doing the best of during the summer and for fun we talked about doing some live episodes. We are going on hiatus because we both need time to write and Sonia will work on some of her skits.

Vacations – YES. Sonia went to Mexico and Alex will be off to an island by Savannah for his vacation.

Stay tuned, have an amazing summer and enjoy the best of Chica and the Man podcast.

Chica & the Man – Everything & Spring Cleaning

Chica & the Man - Everything & Spring Cleaning Well, hear at Chica and the Man we had expected getting into spring cleaning but as usual when you get two level-headed creatives talking; the conversations goes everywhere.

Here’s the list of topics we spoke about and as these are being listed you can tell-we’re all over the place. Anyway, come laugh with us on the various topics.

This episode aired March 2023.

Alex’s PR firm is doing well, and he’s busy with it.
Talked about high-altitude sickness going to Mexico City and Puebla.
Park City, Utah during Sundance.
Los Angeles storms and a tornado in Montebello, CA.
Mentioned celebrities Jeremy Renner and George Clooney.
Tesla and Edison.
And the topic, or was the topic of this episode SPRING CLEANING. I believe we mentioned this in a few sentences, so next month we’ll see if we actually did any spring cleaning.
