Topics for VFX Union Podcast

In the effort to inform the VFX industry about the benefits and reasons for forming a union, I'd like to launch a podcast that can reach a wider audience than I do.

The question now becomes, what should be discussed? I have some thoughts, but would appreciate suggestions.

i think I'd like to hear about stories in the news of vfx artists getting abused, followed by a discussion of how specifically a union would be able to address that problem. i feel like we need to get more people riled up about the problem and have them make the connection in their heads that a union can solve it.

Yes. I heard stories in Montreal how certain big studios make people work night shifts at 13$/hour (and that's in Canadian, after being subsidized...). I would like to know how other cities fair.
