The Takeaway’s John Hockenberry had many complaints against him from his co-hosts, women of color who were eventually forced off the show by his behavior, which the station (WNYC) protected. But there’s more: “There were unwelcome sexual overtures, physical and verbal, directed at the younger women who worked on the show as low- to mid-level producers, assistants, and interns. For the most part, these women did not report their experiences to WNYC management for fear of endangering their jobs. The second group of grievances came from the women of color who served as Hockenberry’s co-hosts — The Takeaway was explicitly founded, in 2008, to bring more diverse voices to public radio.”
