Episode description
Milly, Alise, and Amanda are joined by Dylan Hafer, host of Betches new daily pop culture podcast Pop Alarm. They start with some reactions to the “Mare Of Easttown” finale. Then, they discuss widespread criticism of Naomi Osaka’s decision not to do press at the French Open, prompting her to withdraw from the tournament. Why wasn’t this woman of color’s decision to prioritize her mental health respected? They share the racist and sexist elements to the reaction and how they’ve been punished for setting boundaries in their own lives.
