Chris Weld worked for years in emergency rooms, then ditched that career and bought an old farm in Massachusetts. He set up a distillery and started making prize-winning spirits. When cannabis was legalized, he jumped into that too — and the first few years were lucrative. But now? It turns out that growing, processing, and selling weed is more complicated than it looks. He gave us the grand tour. (Part three of a four-part series.)

In Anlehnung an unsere Folge über Organspende bleiben wir noch einmal ein bisschen in der Welt der Organtransplantationen. Vor nicht allzu langer Zeit feierte die ganze Welt einen Chirurgen - Paolo Machiarini - für einen neuen Meilenstein in der Medizin: die Transplantation künstlicher Luftröhren.

Knapp zwei Dutzend Patient:innen wurden auf diese Weise behandelt - doch die Operationen verliefen größtenteils tödlich…es dauerte eine lange Zeit, bis die Wahrheit über Paolo Machiarini ans Licht kam, und das nur durch die Macht der Medien.

Jess here! This week, I'm coming to you from somewhere in Indiana, tired but happy. Getting out on the road and speaking to students, teachers, and communities is both exhausting and incredibly invigorating, and this week I got to speak to a classroom of student writers, kids who are just learning about the basics of researching, writing, and even podcasting. There's nothing I love more. When I'm in these classrooms, and especially when I'm talking to kids looking to change the world by writing for their school papers as they dream about breaking big stories like the Harvey Weinstein saga, I always recommend Jodi Kantor and Meghan Twohey's essential text, Chasing the Truth: A Young Journalist's Guide to Investigative Reporting. Enjoy! New York Times investigative journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey broke the story of Harvey Weinstein's sexual assaults in 2017 and harassment and won a Pulitzer Prize for their efforts. Their book about the Weinstein investigation, She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement, came out in 2019 and the film version will be out this November.Now, Jodi and Megan offer the lessons of their investigation - the process involved and the rules that governed its publication - to student journalists so they may be inspired and informed. I (Jess) got to talk to Jodi Kantor about the book they created for those young journalists, Chasing the Truth: A Young Journalist's Guide to Investigative Reporting.Links from the Pod:#AmWriting Facebook groupIf you love a good writing retreat—especially one that comes with good solid coaching and the chance to meet others who are working on similar projects—here's one to check out.

In the 2023 legislative session alone, Republican state legislators have introduced more than a hundred bills seeking to restrict transgender people's freedoms, rights and health care access. To put that in perspective, in the 2018 legislative session, fewer than 20 such bills restricting transgender rights were proposed.Over the weekend, at the Conservative Political Action Conference, the commentator Michael Knowles said that “transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely.” These bills have many different aims and often conflicting rationales, but taken together, they reveal the Republican Party's ambitions to do nothing less than what Knowles suggested.So what are these policies intended to do to the people they target? And why are there so many of them now?Gillian Branstetter is a communications strategist at the American Civil Liberties Union's Women's Rights Project and L.G.B.T.Q. and H.I.V. Project. She's been tracking and studying this wave of legislation, and she guides me through it here. We discuss the attempt by Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas to classify some forms of gender-affirming care as child abuse, why the Republican Party has united around anti-trans policy, how North Carolina's unsuccessful “bathroom bill” in 2016 transformed the modern right, what gender-affirming care actually is, how Ron DeSantis is trying to build his brand atop this fight, where one might find grounds for hope in trans politics today and much more.Mentioned:“Texas' Attempt to Tear Parents and Trans Youth Apart, One Year Later” by Brian Klosterboer“What's so scary about a transgender child?” by Emily St. James“They Paused Puberty, but Is There a Cost?” by Megan Twohey and Christina Jewett“G.O.P.

We also discuss NDAs, the many survivors who cannot come forward, barriers to justice in the legal system, and destructive stereotypes about Asian women.

It was the publicity photo that filled me with rage. In it, star reporters, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, stand like bookends around actors, Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan, who are leaning on a ladder. I've got nothing against ladders or any of the people involved but still the photo made me mad. Here we have two of our Gen X heroes, two women who heroically chased down a thorny story, putting themselves at risk and for no reason at all, other than “Hollywood” they are being portrayed by two younger fresher faced women. It's not as if this story happened twenty years ago so they need to demonstrate younger selves. These events took place in 2017. It's not like they're ancient history. Why are we looking at women in their 30s when it was women in their 40s who broke this story? To read more of Can Gen X Women Play Gen X Women Please? visit the Songs for the Struggling Artist blog.

Josh is joined by Joey Magidson of Awards Radar for a double feature. First (Beginning-31:05), they discuss Darren Aronofsky's The Whale and whether it struck the right tonal balance in telling a story of a morbidly obese man coming to terms with his past decisions and relationships at the end of his life, Brendan Fraser's possibly Oscar-winning performance, and much more! Then, they discuss "She Said"(31:06-End) and how it provided a different look at the journalistic efforts of the New York Times to break the story of Harvey Weinstein's abuse, the performances from Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan as Times Reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey and much more! You can find all of Joey's work here: https://awardsradar.com/

Moldova is Ukraine's most fragile neighbor -- the poorest country in Europe, wracked by almost 30% inflation, dealing with energy shortages, and even stray missile incursions. But Moldova is not about to be pushed around: the country is holding the line against what leaders call a 'hybrid war' by Russia who are targeting their political system and their economy. Moldovan President Maia Sandu is in Washington this week, meeting Vice-President Kamala Harris and other senior officials and receiving a Madeleine Albright award for her tireless efforts to promote democracy. Christiane spoke to her about protecting democracy, and Moldova's sheer survival living in Putin's shadow. Also on today's show: New York Times journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, whose dogged investigative reporting on Harvey Weinstein earned them a Pulitzer prize; national security expert Juliette Kayyem.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

On this week's episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason), talk about the sad state of Junot Diaz. Semafor's Ben Smith interviewed the novelist about his odd career limbo; why can't folks who were accused of misbehavior before being exonerated get their reputations back? Then the gang shifts to a cleaner Me Too target: Harvey Weinstein and the movie She Said, based on the book by Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor about their efforts to unveil the producer's monstrous behavior towards women. Sadly the movie isn't that good, and we try to understand why. (On this episode we also mention Ken Auletta's book, Hollywood Ending; Sonny talked to him a couple of months back about Weinstein and his enablers.) Make sure to swing by Bulwark+ on Friday for our bonus episode on Chinese protests against draconian Covid lockdowns and the desire among the people for “cinema freedom.”
For the next few months, we're sharing some of our favorite conversations from the podcast's archives. This week's segments first appeared in 2019 and 2020, respectively.In their best-selling book “She Said” — the basis for the Maria Schrader-directed film of the same title, currently in theaters — the Times reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey recount how they broke the Harvey Weinstein story, work that earned them the Pulitzer Prize, led to Weinstein's 2020 conviction on felony sex crimes and helped solidify #MeToo as an ongoing national movement.When the book was published in 2019, Twohey and Kantor were guests on the podcast and discussed the difficulties they had faced in getting women to speak on the record about Weinstein's predation. They also said that their coverage of workplace sexual harassment would not end with Weinstein: “Our attitude is that you can't solve a problem you can't see,” Kantor told the host Pamela Paul. “Megan and I can't adjudicate all of the controversies around #MeToo, but what we can continue to do is bring information to light in a responsible way and uncover this secret history that so many of us are still trying to understand.”Also this week, we revisit Neal Gabler's 2020 podcast appearance, in which he talked about “Catching the Wind,” the first volume of his Ted Kennedy biography. (The second and concluding volume, “Against the Wind,” has just been published.) “I approached this book as a biography of Edward Kennedy, but also, equally, a biography of American liberalism,” he said at the time.We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review's podcast in general.

We do love a journalism movie.It's been five years since the NY Times exposé of Harvey Weinstein sparked the global #MeToo movement. And the new movie, "She Said," documents the two-steps-forward, one-step-back work of investigative reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor in uncovering the extent of Weinstein's abuses. "Pump it into my veins," is how Katelyn describes the movie. On this episode, Katelyn and Roxy discuss the new movie, the book it's based on, and where we are now.GUESTS:Christine Emba is an opinion columnist and editor for The Washington Post.

The director of the Netflix limited series “Unorthodox” talks about adapting New York Times journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey's book to the big screen. Schrader discuss how her experience telling the real life story of “Unorthodox” and being an actress in Germany helped her tackle the all-too-real story of reporting the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse scandal, and why she doesn't buy the media's comparisons between “She Said” and other journalist classics like “All The Presidents Men” and “Spotlight.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Megan Twohey, New York Times investigative reporter and co-author (with Jodi Kantor) of She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement (Penguin Press, 2019), reflects on the stories she and Jodi Kantor reported that exposed former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuse and helped kick off the #MeToo movement -- and what it's like having a feature film made about your life.
For decades Harvey Weinstein committed sexual abuse in and out of the workplace and for decades he was able to silence those who dared to ever try and speak out. But the New York Times report by journalists Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor exposed these allegations and launched the #MeToo movement. We discuss why we think this dramatized story about their investigative work is strongly crafted and how important it is for this information to be shared with the world in a new format. * Note - full spoilers in effect for entire episode *Follow & SubscribeAaronTwitterFacebookLetterboxdPatrickTwitterAn Original Series Podcast TwitterFeelin' FilmFacebookTwitterWebsiteLetterboxdEmail feelinfilm@gmail.comFeelin' Film on Apple PodcastsFeelin' Film on SpotifyFeelin' Film on RepodFeelin' Film on StitcherFeelin' Film on PodchaserJoin the Facebook Discussion GroupJoin the DiscordRate/Review us on iTunes and on your podcast app of choice!

Five years ago, on Oct. 5, 2017, the New York Times published an article written by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey. The headline read: “Harvey Weinstein Paid Off Sexual Harassment Accusers for Decades.” Fueled by the Hollywood stars in the story, Jodi and Megan's reporting made the Me Too movement — started by Tarana Burke in 2006 — go viral. Now the reporters and their incredible investigation are the subjects of a feature film called “She Said,” which is based on the eponymous book they co-wrote in 2019. The movie stars Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan and not only focuses on the personal lives of the reporters and how they got the story no one else could, but also the lives of their sources — the regular women whose careers were cut short and lives altered because of Weinstein's torment. “They wanted to break into the industry,” Megan tells Katie, “and instead they experienced attacks and harassment and abuse and to see in this movie the toll that has taken on their lives so many years later. I mean, it wrote them out of the industry.” On this episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, Katie and the New York Times reporters talk about the bizarre experience of seeing their lives unfold on screen, the power of journalism, the comfort of the newsroom, and the lasting impacts of Me Too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Director Maria Schrader, screenwriter Rebecca Lenkiewicz, cast members Carey Mulligan, Zoe Kazan, and Ashley Judd, and New York Times journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey discuss She Said, a Spotlight selection and World Premiere at NYFF60, with NYFF Executive Director Eugene Hernandez. In 2017, New York Times reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey broke a story that would change the world. Uncovering decades of sexual harassment and assault in Hollywood, Kantor and Twohey boldly took on an establishment that had too long been allowed to systematically protect abusers. This thrilling new drama based on Kantor and Twohey's best-selling book about their hard-fought investigation is directed by Maria Schrader (director of I'm Your Man and the acclaimed TV series Unorthodox) from a screenplay by Rebecca Lenkiewicz (Ida). She Said stars Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan in wonderful performances as the two intensely committed reporters whose efforts would ultimately help ignite the #MeToo movement. Schrader's film, in the tradition of All the President's Men and Spotlight, is a tribute to the art and importance of investigative journalism, as well as a moving portrait of two women whose personal lives couldn't be put on hold even as they navigated a labyrinth of NDAs, legal double binds, and frightened witnesses. She Said's remarkable supporting cast includes Patricia Clarkson, Andre Braugher, Samantha Morton, and Jennifer Ehle. A Universal Pictures release.

In 2002, journalist Ken Auletta tried to expose Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuse of women in a New Yorker profile he was writing about the powerful film mogul, but his sources were unwilling to go on the record. It would take another 15 years for the full story to come to light through Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey's reporting for the New York Times and Ronan Farrow's for the New Yorker. For his new book, “Hollywood Ending: Harvey Weinstein and the Culture of Silence,” Auletta revisits the story that got away and offers up a fascinating portrayal of Weinstein's life and career. And for this bonus episode, he talks with Katie about what exactly motivated Weinstein to commit such horrific acts, the culture of complicity that enabled him, and the current state of the #MeToo movement that his toppling set in motion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
