Episode Notes
On this week’s episode of the Waves, Christina, June, Marcia, and Nichole discuss former Rep. Katie Hill’s resignation and revenge porn. Then, they break down the successes and failures of the new HBO show about female desire, Mrs.
Fletcher. Finally, the panel is joined by Ronan Farrow to chat about his recent book, Catch and Kill, and the systemic sexism he highlighted in his intensive—and often dangerous—reporting on Harvey Weinstein.
