‘This project was made possible by the Australian Government’s Regional Arts Fund, provided through Regional Arts Australia, administered in Queensland by Flying Arts Alliance.’
I attended APAF (the Australian Performing Arts Forum) in Brisbane/Meanjin, Queensland from 13-15 September 2023 with support from the above organisations. It was three days of deep thinking, discussion and sharing of ideas from arts leaders across the state and the nation. I was thrilled to attend as an independent delegate from Regional Queensland.

Ep103 A Slice of WGA Strike w/ Tim Doyle! (Hollywood!)
[Redacted] In solidarity with the WGA writer's strike, there shall be no puns this week to welcome Mr. Tim Doyle back to the torture chamber- I had one written, but I just couldn't pick it.
This week, our favourite Sitcom writer/producer/creator returns from 65 (million) episodes ago to flick on the Killswitch Engage album, As Daylight Dies... before hitting the club for A Slice of Saturday Night.
Plus, this affable chap thoroughly explains the WGA Writer's Strike, what it means for Hollywood, the future of Film/TV, the international repercussions terrifying the studios, the dangers of AI replacing artists, the death of cinematic comedy, what makes Sitcoms successful, and heeeaaaps more in this Aaronless episode! (Say what?! *faints*)
Please note: this episode was recorded on Day 54 of the WGA Strike, before SAGaftra went on strike; therefore, some information may be out of date or may have changed in the past 100 days-or-so.
