Published: Nov. 28, 2018, 5:59 p.m.

Irin Carmon is a senior correspondent at New York Magazine, a contributor at CNN, and the co-author of Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.\n\n\u201cThe fact that we were part of this entire wave of reporting was actually exhilarating. Even when it was competitive. For me, my desire to do this comes out of a broader set of commitments to the world. I\u2019m a feminist and I\u2019m a journalist. The ability to do feminist investigative journalism felt like a gift. And it also felt like, wow, this thing I\u2019d been working on for a long time is something that institutions\u2014the most prestigious and well-resourced institutions\u2014wanted to put resources to. \u2026 I think that that kind of commitment is significant in our culture because it is validating us as a point of inquiry.\u201d\n\n\n\nThanks to MailChimp, Skagen, TBD with Tina Brown, Screen Dive, and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode.\n@irin\n\n\nCarmon on Longform\n\n\nirincarmon.com\n\n\n[2:20] "Eight Women Say Charlie Rose Sexually Harassed Them \u2014 With Nudity, Groping and Lewd Calls" (Washington Post \u2022 Nov 2018)\n\n\n[33:05] Carmon's archive at Village Voice\n\n\n[34:20]Carmon's archive at Women's Wear Daily\n\n\n[34:40] Carmon's archive at Jezebel\n\n\n[44:25] "College Girl's PowerPoint 'Fuck List' Goes Viral" (Jezebel \u2022 Oct 2010)\n\n\n[53:00] "Heidi Heitkamp Doesn\u2019t Care That You Think She\u2019s Going to Lose" (The Cut \u2022 Oct 2018)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
