Welcome to the third episode of the Parrhesia Tapes – the podcast series tackling the most pressing issues surrounding freedom of speech, whistleblowing, and the courage to break the silence in the face of injustice.
In this riveting episode, we are honoured to feature Zelda Perkins, who bravely spoke out against injustice by being the first woman to break her Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) against Harvey Weinstein.
