This week on the podcast, Rachel is unwell, so Lynne is on her own talking with new author and court reporter Lucia Osborne-Crowley. Lucia's latest book, The Lasting Harm, Witnessing the Trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, is a powerful examination of the trial of Maxwell and all the behind-the-scenes machinations with the victims and the lawyers. We talk about:

• How Lucia's background as a lawyer prepared her for this work
• How she worked with Maxwell's victims and shared their story
• The legal hoops she had to jump through to publish the book
• The frustrations involved when she can't tell the whole story because of legal issues
• How she looks after herself despite writing about trauma
