Desperate in DC and Flyover Lives

Kathryn interviews best friend duo Crystal Walker and Phoebe Thompson, authors and bloggers of “Desperate in DC: Money, Marriage and Manners in Washington DC”. More than one in five middle-school aged children with behavioral or emotional problems has recently engaged in sexting - sending nude or seminude images or sexually explicit messages over an electronic device. How do parents find out what their kids text? Walker and Thompson discuss this and much more. Kathryn also interviews NYT bestselling author Diane Johnson on her book “Flyover Lives”. Johnson, a two-time finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, returns with a dazzling meditation on how our homelands and history shape us and how we also, sometimes wrenchingly, construct our lives. In search of learning more about her own ancestry, Johnson dives into letters and memoirs written by her family's early American settlers to capture the magnetic pull of home against our lust for self-invention.
