| 0:34.1 | I'm Hannah Rosen, editor of Double X. |
| 0:38.1 | I'm here in the DC studio today with Dan K Cois, who's a senior editor at Slate. |
| 0:43.0 | Hi, Dan. Hey. And also Noreen Malone of the New Republic joins us in New York. Hi, Noreen. |

Sandberg has been accused of putting too much blame on women and being out of touch because she's so rich and successful herself. I don't think I really want to talk about the book here yet because it's not out, although we'll mention it a little bit. But why don't I start with you, Noreen? Would you like to join my consciousness circle? No. Why not? Come on. I am. So I guess I'm a little |
