Today, we're tackling a tough movie with the same namesake as this podcast: She Said. In it, two NYT journalists publish a report that exposes sexual abuse allegations against powerful Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. We dive into the movie, talk about our journalism education, and share the "headlines and punchlines" that we walked away with. At the end of this ep, we do our final sweet and sour wines of the season. Click here to review content warnings [https://www.pluggedin.com/movie-reviews/she-said-2022/] for the movie.

Kenz has a theory that the things we learn about ourselves and the hobbies we have when we are in middle school aren’t all that different than adulthood. Sure, we grow and change and things take different forms… but there are some pieces of us that are set already, too. She asks Katie a few questions, like, "How did you like to spend your free time?," "How would you be described by friends, teachers, parents?" and "Would you have been perceived as an introvert or an extrovert?" Let us know your answers to these questions, too!
