Nurse Casey Hickox has been dubbed the so-called Ebola nurse.

And why she doesn't want that nickname anymore.

From Ebola nurse to the angel of Kobani to child porn victim,

media narratives that have turned women into memes.

From WNYC in New York, this is on the media.

I'm Bob Garfield.

Speaking of memes, remember this.

A new film examines the media circus surrounding Lindy Chamberlain's trial, conviction,

and eventual exoneration, and ordeal spanning three decades. If I smiled, I was belittling my daughter's death. If I cried, I was acting.

And George Ticay on Living Long and Prospering. It made you immortal. Not really. You know,

we had seven regular characters, and I was like the fourth banana.

There's so much more after this.

From WNYC in New York, this is On the Media.

Brooke Gladstone is out this week.

I'm Bob Garfield.

This is Bill Cosby from a 1969 comedy album, It's True, It's True, talking about a legendary aphrodisiac.

And it never starts with one of the guys on the corner. It's always some strange 13-year-old.

You know what? You know anything about Spanity Fly? No, tell me about it. Well, there's this

girl, Crazy Mary. You put some in her drink, man.

She's, blah, yeah, Spanish, oh, yeah, that's really groving.

Slipping drugs into women's drinks.

There's some creepy foreshadowing.
