Maureen Ryan on TV’s Evolution, The Writers Strike, and “A Call for Change in Hollywood” (Enthusiasts, Ep. 61)

Author: Hope Jacobson July 14, 2023 Duration: 1:13:12

A conversation with Maureen “Mo” Ryan, author of Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and a Call for Change in Hollywood. Mo describes what it has been like to watch streaming change everything about TV show creation, to witness multiple writers strikes over the years, to see Hollywood enable concerning behaviors and attitudes, and to envision what a better culture could look like after real systemic change. Note: this interview was recorded prior to actors joining writers in the current strike.
