So I listened to this whilst doing the dishes & there were 2 interesting things I learned:
1. The author tried to contact Yashar several times & was completely ignored. Until he messaged a celebrity who donated to his venmo & then within like 20 min, Yashar contacted his editor.

2. Yashar got them to delay publishing the piece several times until they reached a point where they finalized a date they were going through with it. It was at that point that Yashar's TL took a 'dark' turn with all the mental health/suicide talk (make of that what you will),
which caused them to re-evaluate wrt to the ethics of it, but they ultimately decided that it was the correct thing to do.
Oh and I guess the one other thing was that everyone was super eager to talk about it, but almost no one wanted to go on the record b/c they all said that Yashar was a vindictive bully.
