My So-Called Twenties w. Monica Lewinsky

Crooked Media
About this episode

Monica Lewinsky joins Alyssa Mastromonaco to talk about American Crime Story: Impeachment, her documentary “15 minutes of Shame” and that time she ran into Ken Starr years on Christmas Eve. Then Alyssa is joined by guest co-host Senior Political Director of Crooked Media Shaniqua McClendon to unpack Tuesday’s election results. Plus, Grace Parra Janney and Michaela Watkins stop by to reevaluate the Clinton scandal, and look back on how our cringey early 20’s and how it shaped who we are today. Finally, we take a breather with some flower arranging talk in Sanity Corner.
