Today I’m talking with Ronan Farrow, one of the biggest stars of investigative reporting working today. He broke the Harvey Weinstein story, among many, many others.

So Ronan came on the show to discuss the piece, his reporting process, and why he thinks this story and the revelations it contains really matter.
