Working a second or even third gig is not unusual for folks in the film and TV industry. When a strike or two brings production to a standstill, those gigs become a lifeline for workers, which is why actor and barber David Alexander created the website Talent Supporting Talent. Jewel sits down with David to talk about the importance of a side hustle for film and TV workers and how his website helps fellow industry workers with other skills find and hire each other. Sammie Purcell also joins to discuss how productions will look to resume work after the ratified WGA deal.

This episode of The Boom was produced by Kevin Rinker and Jewel Wicker. Additional production and editing by Scotty Crowe. Original music by Matt Owen.
