Tania: I think this would play out differently in a discussion than it does on the page. It's possible that tonya harding and a jeff goluli are the only people who know the truth about it. There just isn't a lot of space for her to have had much agency in this, even in the scenario where you give her the most she can possibly have. And so i feel like my job is also to get you to start from a point of feeling some kind of attachment to her - because she's more like you than she's different from you.

Sarah Marshall is a writer and hosts the podcast You're Wrong About.

”I love it when people tell me that listening to the way I talk about these people in the stories that we tell, and just about the world generally, has made them practice empathy more. I almost feel like I have preserved this a-little-bit-past version of myself, because I've been on this journey throughout the pandemic of becoming pretty cynical, and then deciding cynicism is a luxury and that it feels better, ultimately, to try to believe in people.”
