This week, The Daily is revisiting our favorite episodes of the year, listening back, and then hearing what's happened in the time since they first ran. Today, a new episode, inspired by one of those shows, about one of the biggest stories of the year, the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. At the center of that process was the accusation from Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her when they were in high school, an accusation he denied. Their closely watched testimony fueled a national debate about who is believed and who is blamed. It's Friday, December 28th. In October, I sat down with a group of teenage girls in Brooklyn to discuss their reaction to his confirmation news. You know, I have friends that have had something like this happen to them, or worse, and they have only gone to me and a select group of people about it. Because of the fear that nobody's going to believe them, that their parents are going to be angry at them for whatever reason. I'm curious what you think as high schoolers should what you do now. Should what anyone in high school does now follow you around for the rest of your life?

One of those emails came from a woman named Anne Powers, who lives in Oregon, and offered to record a conversation with her two sons and one of their friends over the Thanksgiving holiday. So the Daily asked me to ask you a few starter questions, tell me your names, how old you are, what your relationship is to each other and describe, just do a little description of yourself. My name is Zach, I'm 13 years old and I'm in eighth grade, I like to play sports, I like to play video games, I also like to drum, I'm in a band with my friend Elliot. I'm Elliot, I'm Zach's friend, I'm also 13 and in eighth grade and yeah, we're in a band and that's pretty cool. And I'm Patrick, I'm 20, I'm Zach's older brother and I'm a second year student at Oberlin College. Alright, did any of you watch the testimony, either her testimony or his? Yeah. I watched Dr. Ford's testimony for school and I thought she sounded very sincere, it did
