The Cornell Seven case raises questions beyond the allegations surrounding an October 2024 fraternity encounter, including what consent means when alcohol, drugs and incomplete memories enter the picture. Chalene Johnson explores why Jane Doe's reported text messages have fueled competing narratives, and what screenshots can leave unanswered about sexual consent.
For parents and grandparents of Gen Z and Gen Alpha, Chalene examines research from the Children's Commissioner for England and Common Sense Media about pornography exposure, sexual expectations and body image. School Chromebooks, Snapchat and AI pornography bring another question into focus: how much do adults really know about the sex education kids are getting online?
Topics discussed: Cornell University, coercion, incapacitation, sexual trauma, parental controls, school devices, Patreon.

F Factor Diet founder Tanya Zuckerbrot faced more than 4,500 Instagram posts in 75 days, but how did a fiber powder become the center of an influencer war? Chalene Johnson revisits the controversy involving Emily Gellis, anonymous health claims, and a weight loss brand Chalene once bought on eBay.
From the appeal of fiber and protein to The New York Times reporting and years of defamation litigation, Chalene follows the F Factor story beyond the screenshots. The Instagram battle raises a sticky question about influencer accountability: when does sharing someone's story become spreading something nobody has verified?
Topics discussed: F Factor Diet, Tanya Zuckerbrot, Emily Gellis, diet culture, online harassment, Fed Up, Wondery, Hulu.
