Weinstein's Defender, Renting in the Suburbs, Fishko Takes on Hefner
Contributing editor for New York Magazine, Andrew Rice, joins us to discuss his profile of David Boise in a new long-form piece in the October 1st issue titled, “The Bad, Good Lawyer: Was David Boies just doing right by Harvey Weinstein? Or did he cross an ethical line?.” In the piece, Rice traces how Boise became enmeshed with Weinstein and seeks answers to why he has stuck by his disgraced client through thick and thin.
In New York's suburbs, more and more people are choosing to rent single-family homes rather than committing to a large purchase. Lisa Prevost, a writer for The New York Times who covers housing and real estate development, joins us to discuss her recent article explaining this trend titled, “Rent v. Buy: Suburban Edition.”
Sara Fishko, executive producer and host of WNYC’s Fishko Files, joins us to unpack the latest episode of The United States of Anxiety titled, “The 'Indoor Man' and His Playmates.” Fishko, the episode’s host and producer, traces the roots of how women came to be seen as objects that were for the taking and, specifically, how Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Magazine, played a central role in shaping that narrative.
