Extended cut: Dakota Johnson on her new doc, childhood, and curating a sex museum

Today we're giving you a chance to hear an episode that we'd usually share with our Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me+ supporters! It's an extended cut of our interview with actor, producer, and activist Dakota Johnson, whose new documentary is The Disappearance of Shere Hite. That's right — an extended cut. Our celebrity interviews sometimes last much longer than what we're able to include in our regular show. Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me+ supporters can hear extended cuts in regular bonus episodes. They also get a chance to play a special news quiz game over zoom with Peter Sagal and Wait Wait staffer!
