Welcome to the double-ex gap fest for Thursday, January 25th, the babe.net versus a Zanzarri edition.

I'm Hannah Rosen, a host of NPR's Invisibilia, and 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. Hi. So before we get started, I just want to say, we are not ending. The show is not ending.

The apocalypse has not come to the double X gap fest.

It was this very confusing thing where we were saying goodbye to the double X slate section and had this whole discussion.

But a couple of you loyal listeners wrote to say, no, don't end.

I must say even though it was kind of a failure of communication on our part to not make it clear that we weren't ending,

I still enjoyed getting the emails and the tweets because it did make me feel wanted.

So that was good.

By like three people.

Well, hush, yeah, hush.

At least three people.

Exactly. Those three people represent all those other people out thereush. At least three people.

Exactly. Those three people represent all those other people out there. Those are our favorite listeners.

Every email and tweet represents 10,000, when it's something that you want.

When it's something that you don't want, they're the only ones who think that.

It's a lonely troll, exactly.

Anyway, we're not ending. We're still here.

But that was confusing.

Okay, so our show today, an obvious one, the hashtag me too, Aziz Ansari case is the case that seems to have finally cracked open the debate in a whole new way.

I can't wait to discuss it with you guys.
