Episdode Summary
In 1998, a 24-year-old intern became the punchline of a scandal she didn't write — and we all laughed. In this episode, Manni, Steph, and Karen revisit the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, break down the full timeline, and ask the questions nobody was asking at the time: about power, consent, media manipulation, and the women who got buried under all of it. Had your own Karen or Chad moment this week? Text us your story using the link in our show notes — we want to hear it.
