Podcast: NPR's Book of the DayPublished On: Mon Nov 27 2023
Description: As Hollywood was warming up for a summer of labor strikes a few months ago, Vanity Fair's Maureen Ryan came out with a new book, Burn It Down, that exposed a lot of the abuses many writers, actors and crew members were coming forth about.
