Welcome to the Double X Gap Fest for Thursday, November 16th.

I'm Hannah Rosen, host of M. P.R. and Fisphilia in the New York studios.

We have June Thomas, managing producer of Slate Podcasts. Hi, June. Hey, Hannah. And Noreen Malone of New York Magazine. Hi, Noreen. Hi, Hannah. So before we get going, I have a point of gratitude for you, June. A point of gratitude. Yeah, a point point of gratitude of thank you, as we say in English.

I had kind of like just a crap week just having to do with not being able to make this

story I'm trying to make yield to my will, you know, just creative, creative frustration.

You guys know all about it. And the, but the great creative high point of my week was American Vandal, which you recommended. I'd been avoiding until you recommended it a couple of weeks. That is really my kind of show. I mean, that is just like a work of parody genius. I mean, who thought to make a show about a guy vandalizing cars with dicks and then it's just so great so great i know there's

like a point at maybe like episode i don't know five or six where you're like this is just like

cereal only maybe it's better and stuff like that exactly yeah anyway Dylan is a you know every

generation needs it's Dylan.

You know, like pastimes at Ridgemont High.

He's, he's like ours, like our slacker, lovable misfit.

And that actor was so good.

So he was like he completely inhabited that character.

Yeah.

Anyway, so listeners, I highly recommend it.

It's such a pleasure.

All right. Well, today on our show, we are going to continue our discussions of sexual harassment with two case studies, very different ones. First, Roy Moore, the candidate in Alabama, who was accused of sexually molesting, hitting on. I'm not sure what the right verb is teenage girls. The point is that the girls were quite young. And then Louis C.K., the great comedian of our age, a very complicated case study in sexual harassment. And finally, for a break from sexual harassment, we are going to talk about Amy Sedaris's new show at home with Amy Sedaris, which is kind of a parody of Arthur Stewart, Gwyneth Paltrow, Nogela Losson, like every kind of show that women are supposed to like to watch and very odd.

Looking forward to talking about that. And June, can you tell us about our Slate Plus segment today? I sure can. On our Slate Plus segment this week, we'll be asking, is the Shalane Flanagan effect sexist?

The New York Times had a piece this weekend about how distance runners Shalane Flanagan, who won the New York Marathon, has been a team mom to America's female distance runners.

And that's a concept that you never hear brooded when we're talking about male runners.
