A former New York Post editor says she was fired for disclosing she had been sexually propositioned by the tabloid's former editor-in-chief. Col Allan is a favorite of media magnate Rupert Murdoch.

NPR's Audie Cornish speaks with Salamishah Tillet, co-host of a new podcast that puts Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford in conversation together, for the first time. It's called Because of Anita.
