SAG-AFTRA has released guidelines for podcast hosts and guests for the actors’ and writers’ strike. Here are key highlights:

  • Podcast hosts should honor their current contracts. However, if they self-produce their podcasts, they shouldn’t promote any struck work, whether past, current, or upcoming.

  • Guests are not allowed to appear on podcasts to promote any struck work.

  • Podcasts related to "rewatch" or "companion" content for struck work are considered promotional and should not be done unless they are part of pre-existing contracts.

  • Non-union podcasters who perform work or services for struck companies will not be eligible for future SAG-AFTRA membership.

Like the influencer guidelines released last week, SAG-AFTRA expects podcast creators to stand with striking actors and writers by rejecting work from striking studios and companies. While the influencer guidelines were already unclear in many areas, the podcast guidelines are even more so, especially when it comes to guests.
