Jesse and Katie noticed a big reaction to a patrons-only episode they did that discussed Graham Linehan, so they decided to make that episode free for all, bracked by some new stuff before and after.

Please consider ordering Jesse's book, which is out now: https://www.amazon.com/Quick-Fix-Psychology-Cant-Social/dp/0374239800/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Original Linehan episode notes and links:

HOO BOY. Jesse and Katie discuss their critique of Graham Linehan's approach to gender-critical online activism, but then talk about a deeply disturbing story of Reddit censorship in which his newsletter played an undeniably important journalistic role. (Two quick corrections/clarifications: Mumsnet is a lot more than just the message board that has been accused of hosting transphobia -- AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ARE WE NOT OPINING ON THE FAIRNESS OF THAT CHARGE -- and we should have made it clear that the controversy only has to do with that one facet of the site. Also, our own subreddit did, in fact, briefly go private as part of the broader action to try to force action on Reddit's part. Solidarity!)
