This week, Kate Willett and Matt Ruby join us to discuss the fall from grace of comedian Louis C.K. since stories about his sexual harassment of women rose to higher prominence in recent weeks. We’re also joined by Charles Hinshaw to discuss the recently released movie, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, directed by Martin McDonagh and starring Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell, and Woody Harrelson. Along the way, we’ll also hear from a woman named Cupcake about some meaningful advice she was once given by a stranger that’s really been useful to her over the years; Radio Dispatch’s Molly Knefel shares her take on the lingering effects of the infamous ‘Access Hollywood’ tape which revealed Donald Trump bragging about sexual assault; and we’ll take an exclusive early listen to a performance from one of next week's BTR Live Studio sessions by Liverpool synth-pop artist Jane Weaver.

Music composed by and show edited by Hansdale Hsu.
