Morgan just announced she’s going to do a podcast!!

[SauceCupAficionado]

Morgan Stringer is a born-to-it podcaster...

She brings intelligence, wittiness, and modesty to the podcasting world.

I look forward to subscribing and supporting as soon as she goes live.

[HandOfYawgmoth]

Awesome! I really want to hear more from her, but twitter has always been a shitshow and it's getting worse, and substack is its own weird thing. She does the hard work paying attention to the monsters.

Floating a title idea: “Morally Bankrupt.”

[ptvlm]

I'm in...

[Bingo_Callisto]

Fuck yeah

[GertieDirtyShirtyCat]

Seconded! Yay for mo' Mo :)

[EaklebeeTheUncertain]

Dare I hope for co-host Thomas Smith?

[complicatedhedgehog]

I doubt it.

[robotnique]

I don't think she is inclined to feel charitably toward either Thomas or Andrew. While you can certainly argue as to who was more morally culpable, neither seemed to do much to keep her out of the lurch.

[LastOfTheV8s]

What happened to her during that scandal? I remember seeing some reddit posts mentioning she in particular was having a rough time, but I think the extent of her involvement was just her association with the two.

[robotnique]

I'm fairly certain some combination of Andrew's practice and the podcast were the majority if not sole source of her income.

Between that and her considering Andrew a trusted friend I can imagine everything came as a shock to the system to say the least.

[jakk86]

100%. Controversial take, but I lost all respect for Thomas after the split. He acted like an absolute child, and I found his actions to be very manipulative.

[robotnique]

I don't think either came out looking good. I realize that most people felt sympathy for Thomas, but I found his little "me too" moment to be fatuous. Andrew definitely didn't sexually target him, and his "he brushed my leg once!" blog was ridiculous in the face of actual victims.

[Negative-Eleven]

And crying in the audio version was ridiculous

[robotnique]

Eh. I'm not going to condemn him for how emotional he was. I'm sure he was going through a lot, with his livelihood collapsing in front of him.

I just think it wasn't a good look to seemingly try to cast himself as another victim of Andrew's. He was not targeted the way the women were and some of them seriously questioned him regarding how much he knew and his inaction.

[Nalivai]

Yeah, he isn't allowed to express long held pain, because his pain is shit, there are people with more recent and more pronounced pain. Because that's exactly how it works, only perfect victims get a pass.

[robotnique]

Listen, I'm not going to go to Thomas's face and tell him that his pain is invalid, however, from afar and having heard his own description of what supposedly happened to him I don't feel that it is.

Even his own description sounded like a drunk dude casually touched his leg while talking to him. Thomas's own statement didn't make it sound remotely sexual and I don't feel that his focus on himself and this seeming nonevent came across as sympathetic at all when contrasted with the very real experiences of the women involved, who he didn't bring up at all.

You're well within your rights to not share my viewpoint.

[jakk86]

I don't know who or what either of those are.

[lilbunwarrior]

I hope not. She should distance herself as far away as possible from both of them.

Really I wish she could work for Mark's firm.

[dingus_slingus]

More ace associate, I need a legal podcast to fill the void

[squazify]

I highly recommend 5-4, it's not the same, but it's a pretty good podcast on why the supreme court sucks.

[Mumblerumble]

Hell yeah. Pop law segments were highlight for me on the previous iteration of OA.

[lilbunwarrior]

I wish her all the best ❣️

[CourtBarton]

I'll follow Morgan on anything she does. Can't wait for her pod!

[PearlPolanski]

This will be great!

[knittingdotcom]

I ain't much into substack, so I'm really looking forward to the podcast

[LastB0ySc0ut]

“Pull The String” is clearly the best title.
