Summary
If you’re interested in unexpected conversations that go uncharted places, are remotely self-aware and like to laugh, then please join me as I continue to find my public voice on Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky. (That’s me.) I will have honest, wide-ranging interviews with all kinds of people – recognizable names, regular folks, experts and friends – about what it means to reclaim what’s been lost or taken in the broadest sense. Every week, I’ll draw from my own unique experiences (like say, surviving a global scandal at 24 years old), and delve into the personal and often messy ways people find their way back to themselves. And because I love a good tangent, we’ll probably also touch on other stuff, too.

| 1:16.6 | few months, a lot of the producers have asked questions at different times and in fact one of |
| 1:22.1 | our producers was born the year after 1998, after I was in a global scandal. |
| 1:30.3 | And I think that we just found over time that it made sense to sit down and explore what happened, |

| 2:09.7 | hopefully if you're sitting there listening and you're wondering certain things, we might get to it |
| 2:16.7 | because it's been 27 years since it happened. |
| 2:31.5 | Well, first off, I'll jump in and I'll say, you know, people have said you have to have been living under a rock or be in a coma to not know the Monica Lewinsky story. |
