Martha Frankel’s guests this week are Frank Buress, Allison Leotta and Julie Berry.
Kathryn interview federal sex-crimes prosecutor Allison Leotta, author of “The Last Good Girl”. Drawing inspiration from real cases, Leotta explores the issue of sexual assaults on campuses, the struggles of Title IX activists fighting for change, the technology that has revolutionized the ways crimes are committed and investigated, and the lengths those in power will go to protect their own. Leotta's legal expertise is featured on CNN, PBS, MSNBC, and in The Huffington Post. br Kathryn also interviews Andrea Tantaros, cohost of Fox News' Outnumbered and author of “Tied Up in Knots: How Getting What We Wanted Made Women Miserable”. If women are more liberated than ever before, why aren't they happier? In this shocking, funny, and bluntly honest tour of today's gender discontents, Tantaros exposes how the rightful feminist pursuit of equality went too far, and how the unintended pitfalls of that power trade have made women (and men!) miserable.
