Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey on the Harvey Weinstein investigation that ignited #MeToo

Season 1 kicks off with two very special guests: Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, the New York Times reporters behind the Harvey Weinstein investigation. Within days of the story's publication, the #MeToo hashtag — a movement started a decade earlier by civil rights activist Tarana Burke — went viral. Episode 1 reveals the dramatic events that took place behind the scenes of the investigation, the obstacles Kantor and Twohey overcame, and their thoughts on the extraordinary response their investigation garnered. The Pulitzer-prize winning journalists also discuss their book She Said which delves into the events leading up to — and following on from — the publication of the story that changed the world.
