Summary

Recorded prior to yesterday’s events at Kabul airport, in this week’s episode Marion McKeone examines the latest twists and turns in the Harvey Weinstein scandal. The former movie mogul is back in court facing 11 sex assault charges involving five women in Los Angeles County after prosecutors returned to a grand jury this week to resuscitate a rejected count. Later in the episode Jarlath and Marion delve into the Ron Jeremy case and ask whether Prince Andrew will ever co-operate with the increasingly agitated investigators working the Epstein case. Finally Marion answers one listener’s question on a little talked about accusation of sexual assault made against President Biden.
