On this episode of Tiny Conversations I talk with Siobhan Özege – a writer at Fat Girl Food Squad and Shameless and generally articulate person. Siobhan has recently been quite vocal about TV Host Steve Paikin and his comments on why it is hard to find female guest for his show, The Agenda. If you haven’t read his comments, you can do so here.
In this episode Siobhan outlines why some of Steve’s comments are so troubling and how this is indicative of the larger picture for women in the Media. She also outlines what The Agenda and other media outlets can do better, and how we need to get to past a place where shows are picking guests as “tokens”.
