Katherine is a London-based author and journalist. She studied History at Cambridge University, graduating with a First, then completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Newspaper Journalism. Since then she has been working as an investigative reporter and latterly an editor. Her work has been published in many national papers, and she most recently worked at The Times, where she was the joint Head of News. While working as an undercover reporter, Katherine won the Cudlipp Award for public interest journalism and was nominated for a string of others. She was also commended by a committee of MPs for 'the highest standards of ethical investigative reporting.' Katherine was inspired to write her debut novel about the complexity of female friendships after attending NCT classes when pregnant, and her experience of sudden intimacy with complete strangers. She lives in Hackney, East London, where she grew up, with her husband and two daughters.

Katherine Faulkner is known for her psychological thrillers involving mothers, relationships and so much more. Her latest, The Other Mothers, was nothing short of nail-biting. I was SO thrilled to welcome her to Books are Chic. We chatted about new motherhood, fitting in, community, social media and so much more!

Katherine Faulkner talks to Carol Fitzgerald about her latest domestic thriller, THE OTHER MOTHERS, which is a Bookreporter Bets On selection (as was her previous book, GREENWICH PARK). They talk about her protagonist Tash, who, like Katherine, was a full-time journalist; she is on the prowl for a great story to jumpstart her freelance career.  Tash learns about the unsolved murder of a nanny, whose charge was the daughter of one of the cool and sophisticated group of mothers who Tash has met at her son Finn's school. Katherine shares how she wrote this book and what works for her as she develops a story. And they allude to the many twists that make THE OTHER MOTHERS a compulsive read.

On this week's show, we're setting up Bria Schirripa. Bria is a product manager by day and a writer and creator by night. She documents the latest happenings in New York's charming West Village neighborhood on her page, the Bleecker Street Beat. Naturally, her dream Saturday consists of a walk in the neighborhood, in addition to drinking an overpriced latte and hoping for a Timothee Chalamet sighting. Bria is an avid reader, and recently loved the novels The Boys Club by Erica Katz, Who is Maud Dixon by Alexandra Andrews, and Greenwich Park by Katherine Faulkner, but generally doesn't love fantasy novels. A self-proclaimed snob about pasta, her dream vacation would be in Florence. She thinks she would have thrived in the late ‘70s and ‘80s thanks to big hair and disco.

In this episode we talk to Charles Keidan, editor of Alliance magazine, about why we need philanthropy journalism and what some of the key issues are in civil society right now. Including:Why is it important to have journalists focussing on philanthropy?Is coverage of philanthropy too focussed on the Global North (especially the US)? Is it possible to rebalance this?Is it possible to bring philanthropy journalism to a mainstream audience on a regular basis? If so, how does this need to be done?Could increased philanthropic funding of news media actually undermine journalism's ability to hold philanthropy itself to account? (E.g. if outlets self-censor to avoid upsetting existing or potential funders).What are the key trends in philanthropy we should be watching? Is climate change now seen by philanthropists and funders as something that concerns them regardless of their charitable mission? Is growing scrutiny of where philanthropic wealth has come from a good thing?What should we make of concerns about “tainted donations”?Is it a challenge to get nuanced or balanced discussion about philanthropy issues in an increasingly polarised environment?Should philanthropy publications try to give space to as wide a range of views as possible, or is there a risk of "both-sidesing" issues?Related LinksAlliance Magazine websiteCharles's story in the Sunday Times (with Gabriel Pogrund and Katherine Faulkner) "Prince Charles accepted €1m cash in suitcase from sheikh" (Paywall £)The Alliance magazine article about the same storyThe recent opinion piece for Alliance by Simon Sommer, "It's time to ditch the mantra of trust-based philanthropy"Charles's editorial response to that piece, "Is the trust-based philanthropy bubble about to burst?"Rhod's comment piece for the Beacon Collaborative, "Can we agree to disagree when it comes to philanthropy?"Philanthropisms episode with Teddy SchleiferRhod's 2018 piece for Alliance (with Fran Yeoman) "Philanthropy should fund the media for its own sake"

Katherine Faulkner talks to Carol Fitzgerald about her debut novel, Greenwich Park, the plot of which came to Katherine when she was in a prenatal class. She looked at the other women and realized they were all pregnant, and there was a feeling they all should be friends. Greenwich Park begins with Helen and her strange encounter in her prenatal class where she meets Rachel, who has latched on to Helen. At first, Helen appreciates the companionship, but as time goes on Rachel becomes more erratic, and Helen begins to feel she needs to find some way to escape this irrational creature. Katherine talks to Carol about the friends we make at early stages of our lives and the difficulty of making new ones later. That became the perfect start to a thriller. Carol and Katherine swap some tales from their own prenatal classes -- ones that still make them laugh. They also talk about Katherine's work as an award-winning journalist and investigative reporter, and the inspiration that comes from interviewing people from all walks of life.

Katherine Faulkner has an impressive new title to add to an already impressive (or posh) resume.  The Cambridge grad is the Head of News Projects for The Sunday Times, and now a debut novelist, with the release of “Greenwich Park” from Gallery Books. The story centers around Helen, a complicated and often socially awkward woman who- after many miscarriages is pregnant again and carrying her baby to term. Helen falls into an unusual friendship with Rachel, a fellow expectant mom who quickly and deliberately inserts herself into Helen's life for mysterious reasons. The book is a psychological thriller illustrating that we never know what lies beneath the surface of the shiny veneers of affluent suburbanites. Katherine joins the podcast to talk about the book, the balancing of her news career and what it brings to her creative writing, lends insight into some of settings and backgrounds that prove to be important to the characters in “Greenwich Park” that Americans might not pick up on. A Moment With Margaret: they discuss this book, looking forward to the upcoming release of “The Golden Couple” and get sidetracked from books with a chat about Wordl and other word games. Katherine Faulkner's “Greenwich Park” is released in the US January 25, 2022.

In this Encore Episode of the Passive House Podcast (originally aired as Episode 37 on May 3, 2021), guest co-hosts Mary James and Ilka Cassidy interview Katie Faulkner, founder of WestFaulkner, an office with a mission for sustainable design. She is also a director at PT-Tech, a division of Placetailor in Boston whose initial focus is on the design and prefabrication of retrofit panels for triple-decker homes.Katie has been working as an architect for more than 20 years and was named to the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows in 2020. Her work is motivated by an interest in sustainable, modular construction, centered on the intention to reduce risk and improve cost control. She was a founding partner of the Boston-based firm NADAAA, where her projects included the Daniels Building at University of Toronto, Rhode Island School of Design's North Hall, and the R+D Center at the Beaver School. More recently, she was a Vice President of Design for Katerra, focusing on a mid-rise mass timber housing prototype.Mary and Ilka's conversation with Katie ranges from the career opportunities that prefabrication opens up for women to the urgency of deep energy retrofits, and much in between. Her early work in healthcare design led to an abiding interest in optimized project delivery models, while always keeping sustainable design front and center. Katie's decades-long experience is well suited to her current collaboration with Placetailor to bring to market cost-effective bio-based retrofit panels.At the end of this encore episode, Mary, Matthew Cutler-Welsh, and Zack Semke discuss major Passive House conferences and events coming up in Fall 2021: 25th International Passive House Conference (Passive House Institute) Part I: September 10-12; Part II: September 14+15: https://passivhaustagung.de/en/Tower Retrofit Symposium 2021 (Passive House Canada) September 22-23: https://www.passivehousecanada.com/tower-retrofit/PhiusCon (Phius) October 12-15: http://phiuscon.org/South Pacific Passive House Conference (PHINZ + APHA) November 25-27: https://passivehouse.nz/2021/06/09/spphc21-cfa/

Katherine Faulkner has had such a fascinating career. A former investigative journalist at the Daily Mail, she used to go undercover to get to the heart of her stories. Then she went on to become joint head of news at The Times - and while on maternity leave wrote her first book, Greenwich Park, an absolutely gripping thriller about toxic relationships and unwanted friends. I loved hearing about all of this - especially a particularly hair raising reporting mission involving designer fashion and an escape dash to the airport, as well as her memories of stashing her laptop in the pram so she could snatch writing time if her baby fell asleep. Oh, and there was just so much else too - she was absolutely great and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
