The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson:
Leaders of a Hollywood's actors union voted Thursday to join screenwriters in the first joint strike in more than six decades, shutting down production across the entertainment industry after talks for a new contract with the studios and streaming services broke down. Our friend Professor Steve Joordens has been on an adventure this summer: he and his wife are undertaking a Canadian Motorcycle Odyssey. They are at the halfway point, back in Toronto to rest for the weekend before taking off. The Liberal Party of Canada launched more than a dozen ads on Facebook to promote the government’s messaging just days after the Trudeau government announced it would stop advertising on Meta-owned platforms because of the ongoing conflict over the Online News Act. The CEO of Hamilton Food Share has said that Hamilton is at a crisis level, with food banks registering 40 per cent more visits this past June compared with the same month in 2022. Many more Canadians will begin receiving Ottawa’s climate action incentive payment starting Friday. There continues to be developments around Wagner Group in Russia, even with the surprisingly more diplomatic approach that Putin has taken with them. Now, the Russian leader had announced that Wagner “simply” does not exist as a “legal entity” in Russia. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!

Robert Thompson, Trustee Professor of television, radio and film; Director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University.
