I'm Amina Tussaud. And I'm Anne Friedman. Today's agenda is a heavy one. I'll be honest,

0:10.5

an important one. We are talking about She Said, which is the new book by

0:16.1

Jody Cantor and Megan Tui, who are reporters, post-surprise winning reporters at

0:20.5

The New York Times. And about some other things that have been in the news lately

Hi, Anne Friedman. How you doing over there? I'm doing pretty good. I've started packing for tour,

2:02.5

makes me feel that all is right in the world. Yes, all is right in the world. I won't show up with

2:07.3

my entire bathroom in a suitcase. Oh my god. If you would like to come see us on tour, which we
