This is how men in podcasting and every industry get ahead. Because this is totally appropriate. I'm looking at you @nytimes #TheDaily.

It's a visual representation of what happens when you question a leaders choices in standing behind someone who failed up cuz he seemed cool to bosses despite a history of sexual harassment and now such bad journalism a Peabody has to be returned. npr.org/2020/12/18/944…

Instead of acknowledging me as a human with a valid opinion or someone with actual advice or questions worth answering, immediate block of the plebe. The other big profile host who blocked me should listened long ago when I asked why he was so inappropriate etc

Because I’m not a pod bro and do a comedy show my decade in podcasting and 15 years in news and entertainment is blocked. Because leaders like the ones who hire @AndyMillsNYT don’t see me or people like me as an holding as much value as him.

I’m not Cassandra and I’m not exceptionally sharp but I saw this coming. People in power should be required to answer this simple fucking question...

“why are you showcasing the work of and promoting someone who showed bad practices and harassed some women & POC out of the industry instead of the work of people who don’t?”

Bosses everywhere are blocking questions instead of answering them or god forbid looking at themselves and their own practices.

I’m happy to discuss this further with #thedaily @Mikiebar @nytimes or @AndyMillsNYT.

My husband also hosts a daily news pod so that may make them take me seriously since my years in news and podcasting are so easy to block...
