Can’t Spell Goop without GOP w. Melissa Murray & Kate Glavan

Erin Ryan and Melissa Murray (Strict Scrutiny) dive into the multi-state legal battle over custody of a child born via surrogacy and the firestorm of politics swirling around it, and Natalie Harp’s creepy relationship with Donald Trump. Then Kate Glavan (Seamossgirlies) stops by to talk about Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop’s partnership with Big Tech. They wrap up in the sanity corner with a toast to the late great Dolly Parton and rant about Oreogate.
