And if you just can't get enough of hearing me talk about sexual abuse, you can also listen to the Risk Podcast in which I told the story in a very different way a few years back.  

Hey, I just appeared on Katharine Heller's fantastic podcast, Tell the Bartender to discuss a story and subject that is, on the surface, extremely upsetting! My own history with sexual abuse, sexual violence in general, and of course, the titular Conspiracy of Silence. Thank god we're hilarious or this would be upsetting. 

Check the episode out now!
