Episode 65 - Jamie and Dan talk about the Stephen-Elliott/Shitty-Men Lawsuit

15 Minutes: a podcast about fame, with Jamie Berger

Daniel Oppenheimer and I talked about Stephen Elliott’s essay and lawsuit (filed last week) against Moira Donegan and the “Shitty Men in Media” list that Elliott was named in a year ago this week.

This one was put together on short notice, and made in part because I couldn’t find written words to express my thoughts on this and it was making me crazy.

Here are some stories mentioned in the episode:
