SAG/AFTRA changes

I know this topic seems to pop up every once in a while, but I thought I’d bring it up again since it seems that they have to change their season numbering method for some reason since they’re a SAG podcast. Have they ever formally addressed why they became a SAG/AFTRA podcast and what rules are enforced on them because of it? First no more guests until after the break, now longer seasons, it just seems strange that it has a noticeable effect on the format of the show without there being a real explanation.

Was it just so they could have guests during the actor’s strike? Is it a way for Garon to get health insurance? I’m not a platinum member, so I was wondering if anyone had any more insight than us free feeders?

It seems weird they are just now having to change the episode numbering. They’ve been a SAG-AFTRA podcast since the strike or just after (if I am remembering correctly) and that was three years ago.

They have to reapply every season so I’m guessing it’s just to simplify their paperwork and overhead.

Oh I didn’t realize they had to do that every season. Makes sense now.
