We Need to Talk About the New York Times with Tuck Woodstock

Author: Sarah Marshall May 15, 2023 Duration: 1:31:02
“What if you were writing a profile on someone named Janet and I was your editor, and I was like, ‘I’m sorry, for balance, find someone who wants to kill Janet’?” This week, Tuck Woodstock, host of Gender Reveal, takes us on a journey through the New York Times’ coverage of trans issues—and in the end, he points the way to a better future.

Sarah Marshall, a journalist with a deep fascination for history, hosts the You're Wrong About podcast. Her focus isn't on dusty timelines, but on the stories we think we know-the sensational headlines, the infamous public figures, and the cultural moments that solidified into simplistic myths. Each episode picks apart a specific narrative, often one rooted in the recent past, to reveal the messy, complicated, and frequently misunderstood reality underneath. You'll hear her dive into figures and events from the realms of true crime, media frenzies, and societal shifts, always with a thoughtful and empathetic lens. The conversations in this podcast are less about assigning new blame and more about untangling how our collective memory can so often get it wrong. It’s for anyone who has ever questioned the official story or felt that the popular version of events was missing crucial context. Listening feels like having a detailed, compelling conversation with a friend who did all the research, guiding you through the nuances we missed the first time around. Marshall’s approach transforms topics we might have dismissed as tabloid fodder into genuine explorations of culture, psychology, and history. The result is a consistently engaging re-examination that challenges assumptions and encourages a more curious view of the world, one corrected misconception at a time.
