Hi, I'm Morgan Sung, host of Close All Tabs from KQED, part of the NPR network, where every week we reveal how the online world collides with everyday life.

You don't know what's true or not, because you don't know if AI was involved in it.

And I think we will see it to a streamer president, maybe within our lifetimes.

You can find Close All Tabs wherever you listen to podcasts.

Really? maybe within our lifetimes. You can find close all tabs wherever you listen to podcasts. Hello, hello.

I'm Brittany Luce, and you're listening to It's Been a Minute from NPR,

a show about what's going on in culture and why it doesn't happen by accident.

A warning, this segment contains extensive discussion about rape and sexual assault,

along with some explicit language.

There are a lot of big subjects that I think our culture has trouble talking about.

Death, addiction, wealth, politics.

But one of the toughest, I think, has to be sexual assault and rape.

For how common sexual violence is, it affects over half of women and almost one in three men. It

understandably can be extremely painful and even stigmatizing to discuss. And in our culture,

we see narratives about sexual violence play out in law and order SVU, in personal essays,

or in the headlines. And there aren't a ton of other scripts out there.

You know, I did feel constrained.

And what I wanted to do was to, like, fight against that

and to sort of challenge myself to not pridify the story

in order to fit accepted form.

That's Jamie Hood.

She's the author of the new book, Trauma Plot.
