The Cultural Arsonist Joe Wenke and Grammy Winner Lani Hall Alpert

Kathryn interviews satirist Joe Wenke, a.k.a. “The Cultural Arsonist”, on his latest book “Papal Bull: An Ex-Catholic Calls Out the Catholic Church”. Wenke bares the scars of his Catholic childhood and exposes the bizarre, absurd and downright frightening skeletons lingering in the Vatican closet. Equal parts revelation, inquisition and humor, PAPAL BULL will make you rethink what you thought you knew about the Catholic Church. Kathryn also interview Grammy-winning performer Lani Hall Alpert, author of “Emotional Memoirs & Short Stories”. Set against the ever-shifting cityscape of Chicago, Hall Alpert peers deeply into the inner lives of women and artists in this urban anthology, investigating that fine line between creative fact and personal fiction. Beginning with her own life and a foundational friendship that helped shape her destiny as a singer, Hall Alpert explores the emotions, psyches and hidden yearnings of women.
