  • On the new aging

    Love all your podcasts, but since you are doing something on aging, would you think about interviewing a naturopath about what we can do to be our healthiest as we age? Leah Hollon has a book called UNWINDING THE IMPRINTS OF DISEASE. For me, it’s preventing dementia. Her business is Richmond Natural Medicine. As opposed to drugs, this is a more natural way to fix our health. Also, many autoimmune diseases can be cured!

    I agree, Katie, this was a frustrating interview for you & your listeners. I can only say you did your homework & kept his feet to the fire but what a disappointing man. This is his legacy.

    Stellar work on your part.

  • Kudos to Katie for keeping the interview with Bill Cassidy a civil one.

    Bill Cassidy, although among the more reasonable and honest Republicans, still did a lot of deflecting and pushing back on reasonable questions asked by Katie. He could have answered Katie's questions about what he thought about certain Trump appointments with a simple polite refusal to answer, but, making it seem as if the questions were irrelevant, he chose to push back hard against her. Katie, being the consummate professional, kept the interview moving and civil without holding back on ask... more

All the Wrong Moves: Katie's One-on-One with Anthony Scaramucci
Q: What were the 'three catastrophic decisions' you highlight in the book?
They are China's entry into the WTO, the decision to invade Iraq after 9/11 alongside large tax cuts, and the 2008 bailout without enough relief for middle- and lower-income Americans.
Katie’s One-on-One with Professor Timothy Snyder
Q: Which leadership or vision could unify a fractured Democratic Party and excite voters?
A leader who can articulate a clear, transformative yet pragmatic agenda, capable of transcending intra-party divisions and rallying a wide coalition around five or so big, concrete priorities.
Katie’s One-on-One with Professor Timothy Snyder
Q: Is translating anger into political action feasible, and what strategies could work?
Yes, by building broad coalitions, connecting anger to constructive political action, and promising tangible reforms like reducing the influence of money in politics and prosecuting corruption.
Katie’s One-on-One with Professor Timothy Snyder
Q: What are you thinking as you read what's happening on a daily basis?
Snyder emphasizes following reliable news, avoiding doomscrolling, and placing current events within a historical perspective to understand the larger trajectory toward regime change and the stakes for the Republic.
Katie’s One-on-One with Senator Bill Cassidy
Q: Would you still cast the same deciding vote to confirm Secretary Kennedy?
He would not be my secretary if I were president; however, the decision is about the administration in place and the need for leadership and reliable information, and Cassidy emphasizes weighing the overall handiwork of governance while acknowledging missteps.
