Summary

In Episode 42, Amira, Brenda, and Lindsay join forces to discuss their complicated feelings about the "woke" Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Is it empowering, exploitation, or both? Plus, we have two extra special interviews: Shireen talks with Keph Senett about the Pride House in Pyeongchang, and Brenda interviews Amy Bass about what happens behind the scenes in production at the Olympics. As always, there's a massive burn pile, and we hand out our own medals to our BAWOTW.
