Eric interviews a truly great interviewer: Cinny Kennard, Executive Director of the Annenberg Foundation in Los Angeles. Cinny has had a long and fascinating career in the world of radio and television journalism. Her work includes coverage of the Anita Hill - Clarence Thomas sexual harassment controversy, the 1992 U.S. presidential election, the Persian Gulf War, and hundreds upon hundreds of interviews with the Royal Family, notable politicians, and world leaders, among many others. Her work has taken her from CBS to NPR to Annenberg, with some other exciting stops along the way.  Now the executive director of the Annenberg Foundation, Cinny talks with Eric about the legacy of the Annenberg family in Los Angeles, how to make journalism a respectable profession, and a foundation’s duty to the communities it serves.

Things have only got worse on the court since the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas hearings. The breathless and hopeful comparisons to those hearings and the Ford/Kavanaugh ones seem like fantasies. It is not that the comparison is not accurate, but the hopefulness is completely unjustified. We are screwed if this follows …

This show focused on what the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas sexual harassment hearing teaches us about the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation fight and the sliming of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Also includes discussion of why Mike Bloomberg would be a horrible Democratic candidate for President. Plus child immigrant detention update. Also features songs: “”I Just Lived a Country Song” by Robbie Fulks and Gail Lewis, “Right in the Middle” by Bettye Lavette, and “America the Beautiful” covered by Band of Heathens covering Ray Charles’ version of the song.

While we wait for the Kavanaugh hearing to take place, we revisit the Clarence Thomas confirmation. Plus, there's a huge settlement being offered to victims of abuse by the Catholic Church. And, Joe reads a poem like a pirate.

How to research the history of sexual harassment in the office, when the term sexual harassment was only invented in 1975 and it was long tabou to even use the word sex in conversation? Using an array of rich sources — from Treasury Department archives to trial records, congressional investigation files to films and novels, popular weeklies and dailies to postcards, advertisements to confession magazines, private papers to employment advice guides — Julie Berebitsky takes the reader on a discovery of sexuality in the white collar-office from the Civil War to the present day. Sex and the Office: A History of Gender, Power and Desire (Yale University Press, 2012) analyzes sexual relations, non-consensual and consensual, among co-workers, arguing that the 19th-century ideal of the passionless woman gave way by World War One to an ideal of feminine attractiveness, one that was later transformed by Helen Gurley Brown in the 1960s into a professional strategy for its time. At the same time, feminist groups and the secretarial labor movement coalesced to fight back against decades of discrimination and sexual violence in the office against women workers. Berebitsky concludes her book with an analysis of the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas case, which brought the issue of sexual harassment into the living rooms of Americans. This case, and the Monica Lewinsky-Bill Clinton affair, demonstrate that there is both continuity and change in American attitudes towards sex at the office. Learn more about your ad choices.
