Episode description
This week Megan and Jordan discuss two of the most essential pillars of the industry: the casting directory - Spotlight and the performers union - Equity, who are taking action against Spotlights “Tax on Hope”.
This episode includes discussions on what Equity is, the things they are fighting for, how it can benefit you and how it is has helped members previously. Megan and Jordan also debrief on Spotlight and its undeniable monopoly on the industry, how essential it is in their own careers and expose what they think their playing age is and the questionable skills they have listed on the site, including things such as accents and sports. Not to mention having to bagsy your own name!
So what’s the tea? Equity believes Spotlight is taking advantage of its position and overcharging members, which would not be legal or cool…
Side notes include Brittany Broski in the flesh, stinky nose rings, summoning with an iced latte and donatella VERSACE 💜
