Anagrams & Bon Mots

We got a little too high this time, so it's an extra short episode today.

A note from Rich: I really wanted to use this episode as a mini-retelling of my recent long-read at The Guardian, “A Hollywood ‘heir’ made horrific abuse claims against four industry titans. How did he end up in prison?” But my intentions were at odds with my medium: Explaining a twisty story about an aspiring writer who sued powerful men in Hollywood for raping and blacklisting him and then, years later, was convicted for lying in front of the court in said lawsuit was a difficult thing to do coherently on this podcast, which finds us getting high and being unserious. The result was an extremely unfocused retelling of this story that Tracie had to salvage in editing. I think my spoken words do my written ones a disservice nonetheless in this week’s episode, so please trust that the story in print is way wilder, more layered, and I think more consequential to the realities of MeToo’s ideals than what is presented in this week’s episode. If it sounds interesting to you at all in this form, I guarantee you that you will get way more out of the written piece. So please read it.
