PodCast: Reviewing media bias and an interview on Swirl Radio
In this podcast, I review the way in which the mainstream media has responded to the TWO right-wing hoaxes which spread the trans bathroom meme in mainstream media. Also, there’s a short interview I did for Swirl Radio – a Clear Channel radio show – and an excerpt from the radio interview that followed my on: an interview with Cathy Brennan, the TERF opinion leader.
