The memoir is, in a strange way, a spiritual cousin of Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and A Conspiracy to Protect Predators by Ronan Farrow because it covers the major news stories that broke the stories of women's experiences of abuse and/or harassment at the hands of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.

Setelah gebrakan duo Jodi Kantor dan Megan Twohey melalui buku “She Said” yang berisi investigasi tentang produser Harvey Weinstein , pada tahun yang sama wartawan Ronan Farrow megeluarkan bukunya berjudul “Catch and Kill, Lies, Spies and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators” (Littlebrown, 2019). Keduanya sama-sama mengisahkan produser Harvey Weinstein yang puluhan tahun menyalahgunakan kekuasaannya kepada para aktris dan karyawan yang bekerja sama dengannya. Weinstein sendiri kini akhirnya sudah divonis 23 tahun penjara untuk dua dari lima kasus yang diajukannya. Kedua buku ini yang semula dimuat secara serial di media salah satu yang mengguncang #metoomovement di Amerika, yang kemudian merebak ke berbagai negara. Buku “Catch and Kill, Lies, Spies and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators” karya Ronan Farrow ditulis dengan gaya naratif bak sebuah film thriller, karena Ronan Farrow mendeskripsikan bagaimana produsernya di NBC menelepon dan menyampaikan bahwa laporannya dengan tema kekerasan seksual ‘ditunda' penayangannya. Setebal 448 halaman, buku yang disusun dengan menggunakan metode jurnalistik investigasi ini akan dibahas oleh Aktivis Perempuan Tunggal Pawestri. Tunggal akan membahas buku ini sekaligus menjelaskan definisi kekerasan seksual, pelecehan seksual dan perkosaan? Kapankah kita mengetahui atau merasa ada sesuatu yang salah atau tidak patut dalam berkomunikasi –offline atau online—dengan seseorang?

How are you using the power you have (for good or evil)? Yes, we all have power just through our relationships between colleagues, family, and friends. Thereby, it can be a bit tricky. According to Deborah Gruenfeld, we need to embrace and own our power, even if we are uncomfortable with it. Deb is a social psychologist and the author of Acting with Power. She shares with Kevin that there are levels of power and it is a responsibility that is yours. Often there are negative connotations with power, however, when you look at it in action, force is rarely used. People want to help you, so you will help them. When you have control over another's outcomes you need to think about the interests you are serving; be the person other people hope you will be. This episode is brought to you by...

In a dramatic account of violence and espionage, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Ronan Farrow exposes serial abusers and a cabal of powerful interests hell-bent on covering up the truth, at any cost.In 2017, a routine network television investigation led Ronan Farrow to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood’s most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family.
