Kathryn interviews Professor of Sociology and Education, American University Cynthia Miller-Idriss PhD, author of “Hate in the Homeland: The New Global Far Right.” She lays out the strategies, tactics and underlying ideas of modern far-right extremism, as well as the role meme culture plays in the symbolism and “branding” of modern extremist movements. She’s been featured on CNN and NPR and in WIRED, the NY Times and WSJ. Kathryn also interviews Motivational Speaker Linda Olson MD, FACR, author of “Gone: A Memoir of Love, Body, and Taking Back My Life.” At age twenty-nine, she was vacationing with her husband in Germany when their van was hit by a train, shattering their lives as well as her body. Part medical-survivor memoir, part marriage guide and parenting confessional and part travel blog, Linda asks readers to find not only courage but also laughter in the unexpected challenges we all face.
