This week, producer Dann Gallucci (filling in for host Jane Marie) sits down with journalist and author, Mary O'Hara, to talk about our big, beautiful - and shrinking - social services in the US, from the perspective of a UK transplant who's 2014 book "Austerity Bites" (10th anniversary version is out now) looks at the impact of the austerity measures put in place in the UK after the 2008 global financial crises. Spoiler - they we're and remain terrible for the average UK citizen. Perhaps a lesson for US voters at a time when the dismantling of government institutions and the slashing of social services we've taken for granted for decades, are contributing to an ever-growing income gap that has so many Americans feeling pretty helpless.You can find more from Mary here:Twitter (X) maryohara1Instagram maryoharawriterThreads maryoharawriterWebsite:https://www.maryoharaproductions.com/AUSTERITY BITES 10 YEARS:  US: https://tinyurl.com/yc3bfecf  UK: https://tinyurl.com/42yz9848 Hosted on Acast.

About 10 years ago, Jane Marie was doing pretty damn good for herself. She was on her own, had a new baby and was working hard as an editor at the feminist website, Jezebel. Then, it all came crashing down when an editor at Gawker, the umbrella site Jezebel was published under, released a story about a recently discovered Hulk Hogan sex tape - including footage.Enter Peter Theil, who had been looking for a reason to settle a score with Gawker when the Hulk scandal fell squarely in his lap. Theil ended up funding Hollywood Hulk's long, costly legal battle and when it was all said and done, Gawker couldn't keep up with the Theil money being thrown at them. They also made a few mistakes during depositions and trial testimony out of, let's just say, hubris, that didn't curry favor with the Judge deciding the case. When Gawker fell, it took everyone associated with the site down with it.On this week's episode, Jane sits down with the once cocky and brash Gawker editor, AJ Daulerio (the one who decided to publish the Hogan story), to talk about the where and the why of it all and find out if anything's changed in AJ's life since the heady days of the 2010's.You can find more from AJ and his current work with The Small Bow here:Substack: https://www.thesmallbow.com/Instagram: @smallbownewsletterPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-small-bow-podcast/id1576208098 Hosted on Acast.
