Karen Hinton

Kathryn interviews Author Karen Hinton. Karen Hinton shares an insider's view of what it’s like to be a woman in the newsroom, the halls of Congress and the highest reaches of American political power. She writes of the toxic brew of ego, entitlement, and “bro-culture” that is especially difficult for women to navigate in politics. She reveals how certain well-known men create a public image as champions of women’s rights and equality, but behind closed doors use gender domination to assert their authority. Known for never ducking a fight, Hinton was at the peak of her career in 2018 when a catastrophic brain injury propelled her into the battle of her life. Emerging from a coma, learning to walk, talk and write again, she was determined to “speak up, not shut up” on issues involving women, men and power. She served as press secretary to Andrew Cuomo when he was federal Housing Secretary and later to NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio. She is a regular contributor to the New York Daily News.. Kathryn also interviews Frank Kilpatrick.The holiday season is here and many extended families have decided to get together for the first time in two years. Frank Kilpatrick, one of the creators of the PSA campaign Shoulda Got the Shot, is hoping that the prospect of that togetherness will prompt the unvaccinated to reconsider their stance. Because data driven PSA's weren't working to 'move the needle' Kilpatrick and his collaborators came up with a heartfelt, emotional, non-preachy, politically neutral approach.Their campaign features portrayals and testimonials from real people who have been seriously ill or lost a loved one from COVID19 and it has been a huge success. There have been more than 2,900 television airings since October, resulting in potential cumulative exposure to 20+ million viewers. Kilpatrick, a songwriter and founder of Healthcare Communications Group is an LA based entrepreneur, who often collaborates with Grammy Award winning producer Alex Wand.
