| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Mormon Alney. |
| 0:03.2 | Welcome again to our podcast listeners and our former radio listeners, now converted to the new podcast version of To the Point. |
| 0:11.4 | Is this country finally turning a corner when it comes to sexual harassment, hardly a new topic? |
| 0:17.3 | But for more than a month, it's been in the headlines almost every day in Hollywood, in |
| 0:23.1 | business, and of course, in politics. We had barely finished this podcast when CBS and public |
| 0:28.3 | broadcasting anchor Charlie Rose was shown the door. We have a great cast, five panelists, |
| 0:33.5 | and we'll get different opinions about how much our society is really changing. They'll be able to |
| 0:38.4 | ask each other questions as we go along. The latest focus on sexual harassment began, of course, |

| 1:29.9 | clout he used to wield. The flood of accusations has other men losing jobs and careers and |
| 1:35.4 | possibly losing elected office. Will there be a backlash based on the need for standards of |
| 1:40.2 | evidence? Well, what seems like a movement begin to fade away. Liz Winstead is trying to make |
| 1:46.3 | sure that doesn't happen. She was a co-creator of the Daily Show, co-founder of the Progressive Radio |
| 1:52.0 | Broadcast Air America, and founder of Lady Parts Justice. She is now encouraging women to use the hashtag |
| 1:59.0 | Me at 14. Liz Winstead, good to have you with us. Thanks for having me. the hashtag me at 14. Liz Winstead. |
