Don’t let the bastards grind you down

We cover so many villains on “Standing Room Only,” so it’s fun to have an episode about a hero: E. Jean Carroll. Don’t worry — I have plenty of not-nice things to say about bad guys like Mike Johnson and Pam Bondi. But ultimately, this week’s episode is about why it matters to fight for truth, even in the face of misogynist backlash.

The power of resistance

My guest this week is E. Jean Carroll herself, and we have a wide-ranging discussion about her book, her trials and the Epstein files. She also offers important words of wisdom about keeping up the fight, even when the situation feels overwhelming.
