In today's episode, I talk with Jamie Masada, the owner and founder of the Laugh Factory, a comedy club on the Sunset Strip for over 25 years. Every Wednesday throughout the strike the Laugh Factory turned over all door proceeds to the Writers Guild Foundation Industry Support Fund. This fund was set up through the Writers Guild Foundation for all below-the-line personnel in need of financial help of which writers do not benefit. Recorded Wednesday, 20 February 2008.
For information about the efforts to raise money for the Writers' Guild Foundation Industry Support fund here is an episode that aired last month on the American Public Media show Marketplace in which Jeff Tyler reported how the writers were raising money for people who work behind the scenes.
