When I want to know what’s going on in Hollywood, I turn to Richard Rushfield. Richard is a columnist for the Ankler, his influential newsletter about the state of the entertainment industry. He is also sober, and decided to stop by our show on his 30th sobriety anniversary. We talk about how sobriety has changed his work ethic and made him more comfortable in his own skin. We also discuss the state of sobriety in Hollywood: from Shia Labeouf to Matthew Perry and why it may take a “Me-Too” size reckoning for the industry to kick its addiction to child labor. #RichardRushfield #TheAnkler #LongTermRecovery #30YearsSober #Phish #ShowerPrayer #SocialAnxiety #ChildStarsTopics:Thirty years of sobriety milestonesHollywood's view on uninsurabilityRobert Downey Jr.'s industry returnModern Hollywood's corporate shiftMatthew Perry's recovery legacyThe systemic toll of child actingLack of data on child actorsProposed labor limits for minorsMedia focus on celebrity downfallsChallenges in reporting misconductFighting social anxiety at partiesShoving match and false predictionsNew episodes release every Wednesday.➡️ Subscribe to The Small Bow Podcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheSmallBow?sub_confirmation=1➡️ Join The Small Bow Community: https://www.thesmallbow.com/➡️ Get the latest on The Small Bow: https://linktr.ee/THESMALLBOW ➡️ Download The Small Bow Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-small-bow-podcast/id1576208098
