WORDS ON A WIRE: Megan Amram

  Megan Amram is a comedy writer, a powerhouse presence on Twitter, and the author of "Science...for Her!" a book that features a woman-hating fictional Megan Amram who in reality takes down a lot of sexist tropes that exist in women's magazines.  Megan joins us to tell us more about how Twitter launched her writing career (https://twitter.com/meganamram), why she thinks poetry & comedy writing share a sense of subversiveness, and how she managed to get Gloria Steinem to write a blurb for her book!
