Serious Inquiries Only - SIO204: Sexual Ethics, and More Listener Questions with Jamie

I've got good news and better news. First, Jamie and I are back for a bonus early SIO to tackle more amazing listeners questions and voicemail! We start off with a very deep and thoughtful #metoo related email from a male listener about his potential bad behavior in the past. From there we've got more on #metoo and responses to our Al Franken episode including a voicemail that asks "what about the Minnesota voters, shouldn't they have gotten a say in Franken's case?"

The even better news is: we stayed on to tackle some bonus questions and we talked so long that there's ANOTHER entire bonus episode for patrons! Please hop on patreon.com/seriouspod and give it a listen! We end up disagreeing on some things and we chart a course for some more episodes in the future based on that.
