    Inside Cornell’s Campus Reckoning With Sexual Assault

    One in four. That’s the number of women nationwide who experience sexual  violence during college—and that only accounts for reported cases. On the Cornell University campus, that number is one in three. The widely discussed sexual assault case from Jane Doe is the latest to expose this pervasive, age-old issue.  This week on Hearsay, hosts Uma, Hannah, and Gaylynn talk all things Title IX—the law at the heart of this issue—from their personal experiences as students to the ways sexual harassment cases are portrayed in film and TV. Plus, they get the inside scoop on what’s really going on at Cornell’s campus from Emma Goldberg, a New York Times reporter who covers NYC from the Metro section. After the case came out, Emma spent weeks on the ground at Cornell talking with students and faculty. She joined Uma to share the latest in campus news, from the demands students are making to the impact of student journalism on the case.  Resources on Title IX and Sexual Assault Prevention:   NWLC Know Your Rights Fact Sheet: Title IX and sex-based harassment Legal Help - National Women's Law CenterSex-Based Harassment of Students: The Basics - National Women's Law Center National Sexual Assault Hotline - RAINNKnow Your IX - Advocates for Youth National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) How Title IX investigations work and why experts say the system failed Cornell’s Jane Doe | CNN Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nationalwomenslawcenter/?hl=en Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nationalwomenslawcenter  Read more of Emma’s reporting: https://www.nytimes.com/by/emma-goldberg#latest

    Why does every man think he needs a podcast? This week on Hearsay, hosts Hannah, Gaylynn, and Uma dive into the culture surrounding male-dominated podcasts, how "harmless" comedy often masks deeper political values, and what happens when casual rhetoric shapes real-world views.   Then, Hannah sits down with media producer and author Alex Sujong Laughlin (Defector Media, Normal Gossip, Try Hard) to discuss her upcoming book, The Talent Cult. Alex shares her take on the popular NWLC ‘Ban Male Podcasts’ shirts and stickers and helps break down the invisible labor that happens behind the mic, along with gender discrepancies in podcast hosting, guest representation, and vocal authority.

    Lindsay Clancy and the Postpartum Symptoms No One Warns You About

    It’s been over a month since Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial ended and we still can’t stop thinking about it. The discourse about the case feels personal for many and has forced others to take a hard look at the ways our courts and healthcare systems treat mothers.   Today on Hearsay, hosts Hannah, Gaylynn, and Uma break down the Lindsay Clancy case and the state of maternal mental health care with the help of Dr. Susan Hatters-Friedman. Dr. Friedman is a forensic and reproductive psychiatrist at University Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio, whose research focuses on maternal filicide. She joins Hearsay co-host Gaylynn Burroughs to discuss her biggest takeaways from the case and what it will take to not just treat poor postpartum mental health outcomes, but prevent them.

    Equal Pay in the WNBA ft. Aliyah Boston, Alysha Clark, and Terri Carmichael Jackson

    As our country has collectively decided to rally around women athletes, the stark racist and sexist wage gaps of professional basketball players has taken center court.

WNBA stars Alysha Clark and Aliyah Boston and Executive Director of the Women’s National Basketball Players Association Terri Carmichael Jackson join us to talk about the intersectionality of it all and how we can really support Black women.

    Death to Girlboss: How Girlbossing Is Capitalism In Cursive Font. Ft. Lola Kolade

    The rise and fall of the girlboss movement was swift—and thank goodness for that.

We talked with Lola Kolade about how we can truly overcome the girlboss within all of us.

    Tax the Patriarchy With Abby Disney and Amy Matsui

    Your favorite billionaire might pay less in taxes than you do. And that’s by design! The U.S. tax code has sexism and racism baked right into it. But if we taxed the patriarchy, we’d have enough money for the things that really matter—from child care and health care to education and housing. We talked to activist, philanthropist, and filmmaker Abby Disney and NWLC tax genius Amy Matsui about why it’s past time for Taylor, Jay-Z, Elon, and Jeff to pay their fair share.

    Union Girl Summer: Why Unions Are Good For Women and Everyone

    With the SAG-AFTRA and Writers’ Guild of America strikes, 2023 was the year of the union. While the media buzzed about the solidarity and popularity of unions, we have known for a while that unions have always been beneficial for all workers, but especially women workers. What caused the resurgence in support for unions? How do unions play a major role in the fight for equal pay? Why should you seek unionized workplaces when job searching? We talked with Liz Schuler and Jesica Bush about the importance of unions in creating workplaces that at minimum keep us safe and at maximum allow us to thrive.
