Join us for a lively chat with the brilliantly witty Rekha Shankar, as we navigate the thrills and spills of her journey from a childhood Seinfeld aficionado to a highly regarded writer and script doctor. Ever been banned from Slack for over-communication? Rekha has, and we undoubtedly share a hearty laugh over it.  This conversation isn't just fun and games, though. Rekha offers a first-hand perspective on the ongoing Writer's Guild of America strike, revealing the intricacies of negotiations and discussing the shift in content creation from TV to streaming platforms. Drawing on her own experiences, we delve deep into the complexities of mental health within the comedy industry, and how she transitioned from a family that rarely spoke about feelings to embracing therapy and gaining self-awareness.  We wrap up by tackling some of the biggest issues in the entertainment industry, including the glaring wage gap between CEOs and employees and the labor strikes. Stick around for a fun game of guessing companies with the largest wage gap and hear Rekha's unique spin on a classic Sex and the City joke. We also discuss the power of peer pressure and the significance of vulnerability in today's digital age. Buckle up for a rollercoaster of laughter, insights, and thought-provoking conversations.
