About this episode
In celebration of the conclusion of "Sex Education," Krista brings back her 2020 interview with Gillian Anderson, who stars as Jean Milburn -- a sex therapist and mom to the show’s young lead Otis. At the time of recording, Anderson had just wrapped up the series' second season. Since then, she has won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in the fourth season of “The Crown,” starred in "The Pale Blue Eye" alongside Christian Bale, and announced an upcoming book – which will chronicle the intimate lives of women from around the world. She also launched her own beverage – G Spot. In this conversation, Gillian gives listeners an inside look at "Sex Education." Plus, she talks about challenging gender disparity, how motherhood helped keep the uber-success of the “X-Files” in perspective, and her thoughts on the impact of social media.
