Emily Bazelon is a staff writer at the New York Times Magazine and the author of Sticks and Stones.\n\n"There\u2019s nothing purely, or maybe even at all, altruistic about this exchange. It\u2019s transactional in the Janet Malcolm classical sense, but also in the emotional sense. There is a way in which I\u2019m super open. I take in these experiences. They keep me up at night. They really get inside me. But then, I'm also using them to craft whatever I\u2019m working on."\n\nThanks to TinyLetter for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow Notes:\n@emilybazelon\nemilybazelon.com\nBazelon on Longform\n[17:30] "What Really Happened to Phoebe Prince?"
