The System Is Wrong

Chris Gethard
About this episode

This week’s caller shares an incredible story about receiving a tough phone call regarding her ex-husband and the lessons it taught her about the broken justice system. She opens up about standing up for what's right, even when the system fails, and being a voice for those who can’t defend themselves. It's a compelling reminder of why doing the right thing matters, even—and especially—when it's not the easy thing.
