The former president promoted his Netflix docuseries on American workers in a live event during the ongoing WGA strike.
The discussion, led by journalist Ira Glass and hosted on LinkedIn, centered arounda show narrated, starring, and co-produced by Obama. The series was inspired by labor activist and historian Studs Terkel’sof workers in the U.S., and follows people in different professions as they navigate their day-to-day lives. Gizmodo is aware that the irony here is thiccc.
Obama began the discussion with a ~3 minute, meandering statement outwardly of in support of the WGA strike. “I know that there are many studios and streamers who feel a little bit embattled—that there’s been a little a little bit too much of a glut of product and they’re looking at their bottom line. And they’re experiencing shareholder pressure, etcetera.
Then quickly, the conversation pivots. “Let’s talk about the TV show,” Glass says. And they do, for more than an hour.Though Obama’s preceding soapbox speech might seem like solidarity, it doesn’t exactly erase his decision to promote a Netflix series while union workers are actively striking against the streaming giant. For many WGA writers, the move amounted to a transgression against the union code.
