    Buttafuoco Book Club with Jamie Loftus, Part One

    What happens when you are forced into the public eye because of someone else’s immorality? In 1992, a 37-year-old housewife named Mary Jo Buttafuoco barely survived an attack by a gun-wielding 17-year-old girl named Amy Fisher. Amy accused Mary Jo’s husband, Joey, of statutory rape. Joey denied everything. And Mary Jo stood by her man. Why? In 2009, Mary Jo Buttafuoco released a memoir called Getting It Through My Thick Skull: Why I Stayed, What I Learned, and What Millions of People Involved with Sociopaths Need to Know, and today, we’re talking about it with Jamie Loftus, host of Lolita Podcast and author of the forthcoming The Tower. We'll discuss the irresponsible way the media portrayed the story, the complicated dynamic between Mary Jo and Amy, and the reasons why women sometimes choose to stay in relationships with problematic or abusive men. Digressions include the Simpsons’ impossible rumpus room, the farce of “writing routines,” and whether a particular sticker dog was able to survive.

    "Heaven is for Real" with Adrian Daub

    If your four-year-old told you about a trip to heaven, would you believe them? For a pastor named Todd Burpo, the answer was yes. In 2010, his book Heaven Is For Real—co-authored by Lynn Vincent—became a runaway bestseller. This week, Sarah tells In Bed with the Right co-host Adrian Daub the story of this strange little book, and how it reveals more about us than it does the afterlife. Digressions include Shakerism, The Big Lebowski, and the ongoing debate around pets in heaven.

    Finding Renée Richards with Julie Kliegman

    In 1976, a transgender tennis player named Renée Richards won a landmark New York Supreme Court case and a victory for trans rights in professional sports. In 2026, YWA sports correspondent Julie Kliegman is publishing a biography of her. In honor of their new book, Finding Renée Richards: The Groundbreaking Story of Tennis’s Trans Pioneer, Julie returns to the Renée Richards beat to tell Sarah about the long process of creating this expansive work. In addition to the sometimes complicated conversations Julie had with Renee, they share with Sarah the process of writing a biography, from the first lunch with a subject, to the pitch, to the long days searching the archives, and finally, to its publication and reception. They discuss how to write “Not A Tennis Book,” how to deal with your subject's feelings about their own biography, and what to do with the pressure of writing about an individual who will inevitably be interpreted as a voice for an entire group of people. Digressions include cave anxiety, Type 2 Fun, and Legally Blonde.

    The JFK Assassination Part 2 with Mackenzie Joy Brennan

    But seriously, who really killed JFK? For part two of the JFK Assassination series, law correspondent Mackenzie Joy Brennan takes Sarah through the conspiracy theories that have surrounded the tragedy to see how the combination of too much information and too little information helped solidify a general feeling that things were not as they seemed. Together, they go over the Warren Commission report, the Zapruder Film, and the story of the “magic bullet,” and look at how Oliver Stone’s movie JFK changed our collective memory of what happened that day and who was really to blame. Digressions include the Sharpie art on burned CDs, the series premiere of Monk, and the unfortunate nostalgia for George W. Bush.More Mackenzie Joy Brennan:http://www.mkzjoybrennan.comEdited + produced by Miranda Zickler:http://www.linktr.ee/mirandatheswampmonster Fact checking by Julie KliegmanMore You're Wrong About:Bonus Episodes on PatreonBuy cute merchYWA on Instagram Support the show Learn more about your ad choices.

    The JFK Assassination Part 1 with Mackenzie Joy Brennan

    Where is Dana Scully when you need her? For the first installment of this two-part episode, legal correspondent Mackenzie Joy Brennan tells Sarah about what happened before, during, and after the moment that John F. Kennedy was shot in that Dallas motorcade, the lasting cultural images that have been burned into the public consciousness, and the story of the man who shot the man and the man who shot the man who shot the man. Plus, the conspiracy theory that walked so that the paranoias of today could run — and how we can orient ourselves in reality despite our strongly held beliefs. Digressions include Oregon Trail bison, jaundiced tans, and the triumph of 90s legal thrillers.
