Bonus Episode: Amy Wax – Amy Wax Pushes Back

Subscribe to The Glenn ShowSubscribe

Today I'm posting a bonus episode of the Glenn Show with University of Pennsylvania Law professor Amy Wax. Unfortunately, Amy experienced some recording difficulties, which resulted in an episode that did not meet our usual standards for audio fidelity and clarity. Rather than post it here in the podcast feed, we've opted to post only the video with subtitles under Amy's side of the conversation. You can find that video right now by going to glennloury.substack.com
