Update from later today: VSO musicians have begun their strike.

After Will vents about the Canadian Football League controversy, we discuss a potential strike by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (VSO) musicians (4:32 ), purported salary discrepancies (17:52 ), and we catch a brief response by the VSO in real time while recording (23:22 ).

We jumped the usual schedule to talk about this news, so the next episode of Upsample will drop three weeks from now, on October 17th.

• VSO musicians' strike announcement video
• Daily Hive story which includes response from the VSO
• 1999 CBC story about Toronto and Montreal

Recs: Will - watch, listen to, read anything made between 1941 and 1956, inspired by Ted Gioia "Is Mid-20th Century American Culture Getting Erased?"

Carson - listen to Bleeds by Wednesday
