Episode description
In the era of constant hot takes, what actually makes an opinion worthwhile? Roxane Gay tells NPR's Ayesha Rascoe that it's a combination of things: credibility, backing arguments, articulation. In today's episode, Gay discusses her collection of nonfiction essays Opinions and the topics she tackles throughout — from the overuse of the word 'empathy' in today's discourse to the truly terrible experience of Father's Day shopping.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices
