Summary

On October 5, 2017, "New York Times" investigative reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey broke the news of Harvey Weinstein’s alleged sexual harassment and abuse. Their report launched a movement and gave the country a significant wake-up call. Over the next twelve months, hundreds of men across all types of industries were outed with accusations of abuse and wrongdoing. Now, two years later, Jodi and Megan are giving the public a look inside their investigation with their bestselling book, “She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement." On this episode, Kantor and Twohey discuss what it was like to pursue this story against the odds, the importance of giving a voice to the voiceless, what happened in the moments before the publication of their bombshell report and the new reporting they have uncovered in the aftermath of their report.
