Jamie, they were not women… they were children/girls when they were abused! That language is part of the problem! They were CHILDREN!

I first learned of this podcast when Christiane went on Jon Stewart’s one. Curiosity peaked, I started listening; the combined expertise of both her & Jamie just radiates through the speakers. I was also lucky enough to get my question answered the very first time I submitted one. They speak about foreign policy with compassion & relating it back to the people affected, not just facts & figures. Both eminently likeable people to listen to, their humanity is a real draw.

I enjoy listening to the exes and their chemistry. I wait for the day Christiane doesn’t interrupt Jamie and it just never happens. Cannot resist. Also never misses a chance to trash Israel no matter what. That’s been for her entire career. Jamie, why do you let her?
Not everything she says is the gospel tho she thinks it is. You can still be a feminist & not be so very competitive all the time. Jeez.
