We were so excited to welcome author and journalist Emma Specter to the show, that we asked them if we could talk about their favorite movie. Join us as we traverse journalism onscreen in James L. Brooks' 1987 film Broadcast News, starring Holly Hunter, William Hurt, and Albert Brooks. We also ask Emma about the process of writing her reported memoir, More, Please, and what she might say about elements of the movie "as a private citizen," versus in her official capacity as culture writer for Vogue.

Discussed in this episode:

• More, Please: On Food, Fat, Bingeing, Longing, and the Lust for Enough
• Emma's review of She Said: https://dirt.fyi/article/2022/12/all-the-things-she-said
