A note on the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes
Due to the emerging guidelines for creators and influencers about the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, I am making the decision to pause on any active promotion of the Netflix show on the podcast feed and social media channels until the strike is over.
Breakfast in Beauclair will release episodes on Netflix's The Witcher Season 3 after the strike. In the meantime, the podcast will take a brief break for August and return on Thursday, September 7, 2023 with Andrzej Sapkowski's Time of Contempt or The Hexer TV series (2002).
If you'd like to read more about creator guidelines, you can do so on the strike website.
This episode is available at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Stitcher.

Hello! Some news about this season of 'Breakfast in Beauclair':
Due to the emerging guidelines for creators and influencers about the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, I am making the decision to pause on any active promotion of the Netflix show on the podcast feed and social media channels until the strike is over. This is primarily for two reasons:
to support writers and actors within the industry and
to protect any guests of 'Breakfast in Beauclair' who are non-union, pre-WGA, or pre-SAG whose participation in promoting Netflix content now could cause issues with union eligibility in the future.
Please note that pausing active promotion of the show does not mean boycotting watching the show; I'm just not participating in (promotional) work that actors would be doing.
What does this mean for the podcast?
I will hold onto the Season 3 episodes for now and will release them once the strike is over.
I will be taking August for a pre-planned vacation and to regroup and re-record. On Thursday, September 7, we'll return with either Andrzej Sapkowski's Time of Contempt or The Hexer TV series (Poland, 2002). Let me know if you have any preference between Time of Contempt or The Hexer!
If you'd like to read more about creator guidelines, you can do so on the strike website.
Thank you so much for your understanding and kindly let me know if you have any questions!
