December 11, 2023 Extended cut: Dakota Johnson on her new doc, childhood, and curating a sex museum
Today we're giving you a chance to hear an episode that we'd usually share with our Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me+ supporters! It's an extended cut of our interview with actor, producer, and activist Dakota Johnson, whose new documentary is The Disappearance of Shere Hite.

That's right — an extended cut. Our celebrity interviews sometimes last much longer than what we're able to include in our regular show. Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me+ supporters can hear extended cuts in regular bonus episodes. They also get a chance to play a special news quiz game over zoom with Peter Sagal and Wait Wait staffer! To find out more, and to hear our regular show without sponsor messages, sign up for Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me+ at plus.npr.org
