Free Speech Documentary "Endangered," Reproductive Justice After Roe, Get Lit with Chantal V. Johnson and MUNA
A new documentary, “Endangered,” follows four journalists living and working in democratic countries with a free press as misinformation spreads. Executive producer Ronan Farrow and directors Rachel Grady & Heidi Ewing join us to talk about the film and the ongoing culture war over free speech. The film is an official selection of the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival and premieres June 28 on HBO Max.
Following last week's Supreme Court ruling in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, Farah Diaz Tello, senior counsel and legal director at If/When/How, and Andrea Miller, president of the National Institute for Reproductive Health, join us to discuss the future of activism and reproductive justice.
This summer, we're hosting our Get Lit with All Of It book club on the radio! This month, we've been reading the acclaimed debut novel of Chantal V. Johnson, Post-Traumatic. The novel tells the story of a lawyer named Vivian, who works defending those sent to a psychiatric hospital in New York. Her own past trauma, disordered eating, and outbursts of self-destructive behavior threaten to derail her life, and all her relationships. Johnson joins us to discuss the novel, and to take calls from Get Lit readers!
Indie pop band MUNA join as the musical guest at our June Get Lit radio special! We host a Listening Party with the trio of Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin, and Naomi McPherson for their brand new self-titled album.
