    The Great Noticing

    Uzo and Diweni return this week on World War She for a conversation about misogyny and power in music and what the research tells us about its real-world impact. Along the way, they digress (as usual) into Tell Me Lies, the Stranger Things season finale, Marty Supreme, and Kai Cenat.
