That Sinking, Racist Feeling When You've Lost The Newsroom


Listen Later

Let's put a bow on this Donald McNeil Jr. story. McNeil has fired back with a 20,000-word opus about his travails trying to wrangle a group of young prep-schoolers with very strong feelings about social justice -- and without any booze! What did he really say to get himself in trouble? How did he say it? How did he handle the girl with the Latino/x boyfriend? Katie and Jesse also discuss media unionization and their exciting upcoming orthodontic endeavors.

Please consider pre-ordering Jesse's book "The Quick Fix: Why Fad Psychology Can't Cure Our Social Ills," which is out April 6.
