Monica Lewinsky is launching her first podcast.
The show, entitled Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky, will see Lewinsky in conversation with guests on what it means to “reclaim what has been lost or taken from them.” Initial guests include actor and writer Alan Cumming, tech journalist and author Kara Swisher, actress and activist Olivia Munn, actress and writer Molly Ringwald, singer and songwriter Joanna “JoJo” Levesque and author Anne Lamott.
The show, which is part of the Wondery slate, debuts Feb. 18, with episodes available widely or early to Wondery+ subscribers.
“These are meaningful and surprising personal conversations through the prism of reclaiming,” Lewinsky said. “Whether it’s the Sisyphean task of redefining a co-opted narrative, re-recording a music catalogue to reclaim ownership, decluttering a physical space to find freedom, or even a small moment of choosing peace over escalation in a personal argument, the way people reclaim utterly fascinates me. Reclamations can encompass loss, grief, resilience, grace and ultimately triumph. And if you’re lucky, there’s some humor along the way to grease the wheel!”
“Monica Lewinsky is one of the most universally recognized names, and Reclaimingis the next step in her incredible journey to transform her public narrative,” says Marshall Lewy, Chief Content Officer at Wondery. “From the very first time we met, Monica has had such a refreshingly clear vision of what this show wants to be. Audiences are going to discover every week what we have enjoyed in making this show: that Monica is a seeker with a truly unique perspective, who happens also to be disarmingly smart and funny.”
