S3 E4 The “Weinstein” bombshell — is “MeToo” going too far?

In this episode, we talk about the 2019 movie “Bombshell” and two books that started the global “MeToo” movement—Ronan Farrow’s “Catch and Kill” and “She Said” by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey. It’s been almost 4 years since Trump’s “Pussygate” and his election, three years since the bombshell news story of Weinstein broke, two years since the Kavanaugh hearing. Is “MeToo” going too far? (Spoiler alert: nooooo.)The week we recorded this episode, the verdict of the Weinstein trial had just come out and some say it is ushering in a new legal era in how we treat sexual harassment cases. We want to use “Bombshell” as a way into talking about what has changed, what hasn’t and what we can do to empower each other and push back against the logic (and normalization) of sexual harassment in career settings. Links：https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/from-aggressive-overtures-to-sexual-assault-harvey-weinsteins-accusers-tell-their-storieshttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/08/books/review/she-said-jodi-kantor-megan-twohey.htmlhttps://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-espionage/the-black-cube-chronicles-the-private-investigatorshttps://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/12/23/bombshell-and-the-perils-of-topicalityRSS Link for Surplus Value:https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/surplusvalue-918834/episodes/051-53769331 Promo：Find Loud Murmurs in the iTunes podcast store, Google Play, Spotify, and wherever you listen to podcasts (e.g. Pocket Casts, Overcast)!
