A podcast where Script Editor Jamie Mackinlay helps listeners navigate & understand the creative industries by interviewing a wide range of creatives ๐๏ธ Listen Here: https://linktr.ee/Justgetarealjobpodcast
A real pleasure to speak again to the brilliant Jamie Mackinlay @justgetarealjob.bsky.social about the ongoing omnicrisis in TV and how itโs impacting those from marginalised and less privileged backgrounds.
Let us know your thoughts on our conversation!!

David has spent over 20 years teaching creatives and helping people build sustainable freelance careers.
Before that, he spent 22 years in BBC broadcasting so he knows what itโs like to be a working creative.
The skills David shares are so inspiring. Hope you enjoy this one!
No one teaches creatives how to manage money, build networks or reframe how we see our work.
๐๏ธ Thatโs what this weekโs episode with David Thomas is all about.
Listen on Spotify, Apple or YouTube ๐ง
I need to post more on this! Hope everyone is having a great week!
As lot of us know creative work comes with a lot of guessing especially when it comes to managing money and networking.
This weekโs episode really helps unpack it all, and I canโt wait to put this one out.
๐๏ธ Dropping Wednesday.

Spoke to @alasdairferguson.bsky.social
at the @scotnational.bsky.social about the cancellation of River City & my wider concerns at the ongoing crisis facing our industry.
Itโs a scary time to be working in TV and itโs important to be upfront about that ๐

This is producers who are lost, struggling, leaving the industry. Now talk to writers, actors, crews... If something isn't done to change things right now, there will be no TV industry left...

Articles like todayโs in the Guardian highlighting the terrible crisis in TV production in the UK can badly impact the mental health and wellbeing of those struggling to stay afloat. @filmtvcharity.bsky.social

Just listened to this one on a longhaul drive. Definitely worth checking out. It is specific to the UK small-screen industry but there is definite resonance with the situation elsewhere too.

Terrifically important and insightful panel last night hosted by @justgetarealjob.bsky.social
If the TV industry is to survive the current crisis, then we need more open candid conversations like this. As Einstein said: you canโt solve a problem with the same thinking that created it. ๐๐๐

Big fan of @justgetarealjob.bsky.social and feel like what Jamie's doing on that podcast - telling the conversations we're all having in private, in public! - is really important stuff; there is a crisis within film and TV in the UK that no one is talking about open.spotify.com/episode/4aId...
