Chelsea is joined by journalist and memoirist Connie Wang to unpack "Connie," the memoir by pioneering news icon Connie Chung. They explore Chung's experiences as one of the first Chinese-American women in news and the mountains she climbed. There’s also wild drama with Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer, a long-distance romance with now-husband Maury Povich, and jump scares from Ryan O’Neal, Marlon Brando, and… (DRINGO!) Henry Kissinger. A content warning: this episode contains discussions of sensitive topics including sexual abuse. Take care while listening and find helpful resources here.
