Jane Velez-Mitchell

Kathryn interviews NY Times Bestselling Author & Journalist Jane Velez-Mitchell. As the USPS crisis escalates and the upcoming Presidential election nears, a growing contingent of animal loving Americans are demanding a change in the rules to prevent animals from being subjected to needless torture on a journey that would likely end in death. Velez-Mitchell offers insight into this growing problem and these emotionally traumatizing events. Kathryn also interviews Journalist David Davis, author of “Wheels of Courage: How Paralyzed Veterans from World War II Invented Wheelchair Sports, Fought for Disability Rights, and Inspired a Nation.” He reveals how paralyzed veterans organized the first-ever wheelchair basketball teams within VA hospitals after the war, which quickly spread across the nation and changed the perception and treatment of disabled people. Davis’ work has appeared in Sports Illustrated, Smithsonian Magazine, The NY Times, The LA Times, WSJ, Deadspin and Vice.
