For author Judy Blume, writing is about making connections. Her genius has always involved finding a path into the intimate spaces of her readers' hearts; it's the very thing that drove her to write. Now, at 85, she's reaching her third generation of readers — and she's connecting as powerfully as she did in the late 1960s when her first book was published. A new documentary, Judy Blume Forever, explores this phenomenon, and the deep cultural reach of her books. On this episode of Next Question, Katie chats with the incredibly energetic Judy Blume, as well as the doc's directors, Davina Pardo and Leah Wolchok, about the power of books as a force for transformation, identity, disruption, escape, and revolution. They discuss why Judy's books have been embraced and feared, and why the connections she has made are just as strong as ever — even though there are people who would like to silence her altogether.

Senator Amy Klobuchar believes that a certain amount of optimism is essential in overcoming obstacles, “Whether it's through an illness, or whether it's through trying to get a bill through congress.” And she's had more than her share of experience with both. On this episode of Next Question, Katie and Senator Klobuchar talk about her getting-things-done mindset, and how it found its way into the pages of her new book, The Joy of Politics: Surviving Cancer, a Pandemic, a Campaign, an Insurrection, and Life's Other Unexpected Curveballs. While the Senator has been through a lot the past few years, she's well aware that she's not alone. Now, she's ready to rejoice in the comeback.  Want to be a know-it-all?

When Academy-Award winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim set out to make Still, a film about Michael J. Fox, he imagined he'd be making a hybrid documentary/80s movie. What he discovered along the way, however, was something deeper: his subject is far more than an iconic mega-star — Michael is an inspiration. After decades of living with the degenerative and debilitating effects of Parkinson's disease, Michael J. Fox reveals his personal philosophy: “With gratitude, optimism is sustainable.” Katie's conversation with Michael and Davis is funny and revealing, and traces the highs and lows of creating a film about an incurable optimist trying to overcome an incurable disease.  Want to be a know-it-all?

Dr Paul L. Vasey is Professor and Board of Governors Research Chair in Culture, Organization and Society at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. His research has focused on understanding the development, evolution and psychobiology of gender diversity and sexual orientation. He has studied female homosexual behavior in Japanese monkeys for the past 33 years. This work has been described as “transformative” by leading scholars in the field. For 19 years, he has conducted annual fieldwork in Samoa, a culture where feminine same-sex attracted males are identified as a “third” gender, called fa'afafine, that is distinct from cisgender men and women. In 2015, Dr. Vasey established another fieldsite in the Istmo region of Oaxaca, Mexico. In this area, the indigenous Zapotec people recognize feminine same-sex attracted males as a third gender called, muxe. This work has been complemented by his long-term research on cisgender gay men in Canada and Japan. His cross-cultural research has been described by external reviewers as “cutting-edge” and “stunningly original.” Vasey is one of only a handful Canadian scholars to receive research grants from NSERC, CIHR and SSHRC, as well as NIH.  His research has been reported on in hundreds of newspapers and magazines worldwide including the New York Times, Oprah, Playboy, National Geographic and TIME. He has been interviewed on camera for several television documentaries, most recently by the American journalist Katie Couric, for the National Geographic documentary, Gender Revolution, in which he spoke about the special role fa'afafine play in promoting the well-being of their families.    Dr Vasey at the University of Lethbridge: https://people.uleth.ca/~paul.vasey/PLV/home.html   Lecture at the University of Lethbridge: https://youtu.be/hNyy3g2yVfs   ************* Support our work:  https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/GDAlliance?country.x=CA&locale.x=en_US   For more information: https://www.genderdysphoriaalliance.com

On March 9, 2023, the FDA issued a new ruling/guidance on patient notification of breast density at screening mammogram. And now, in April 2023, the ACOG has released its new Practice Advisory (PA) on the subject.

Happiness is not a destination. According to Dr. Laurie Santos – host of The Happiness Lab podcast, and professor of a popular class on happiness at Yale University – happiness is a journey that comes with many roadblocks. Whether you call it flourishing, contentment, or just plain joy, the key to finding it involves rolling up your sleeves and getting to work. With rates of anxiety and depression skyrocketing among young people, Dr. Santos sheds much-needed light on ways that we can adjust our own expectations about happiness, and offer constructive support to the people who need it most. She also clarifies the unexpected role that resilience plays along the path: the stronger we become, the more we're capable of post-traumatic growth. Want to be a know-it-all?

Her former employers denied ageism or sexism played a role in her firing, but viewers wondered if her choice to go gray during the pandemic - as so many women did - was the real cause.

She earned every bonus, gift, and international trip.

She recruited hundreds of women into a dream that wasn't achievable or sustainable.   "As a stay-at-home parent, I was understandably attracted to a culture that offered a salve to my loneliness.

On this week's special episode of The Georgia Politics Podcast, we examine the life and legacy of the late Barbara Walters with WSB's Michelle Wright. Barbara Walters blazed a trail for female journalists in the industry and inspired the likes of Jane Pauley, Katie Couric and Diane Sawyer. Walters big break came when she joined The Today Show in 1961 and was named co-host of the show in 1974, becoming the first female co-host of a U.S. news program. She would go on to sign a five-year, $5 million contract with ABS, making her the highest paid news anchor – male or female – in the United States. Throughout her career, Walters would interview every sitting U.S. President and first lady from Richard and Pat Nixon to Barack and Michelle Obama. Some of her most famous, and sometime notorious, interviews include Fidel Castro, Anwar Sadat, Katharine Hepburn, Sean Connery, Monica Lewinsky, Hugo Chávez, Vladimir Putin, and Bashar al-Assad. Perhaps her most noteworthy accomplishment was creating the talk show “The View” in 1997, which is still on air with ABC today. The all-female hosted program brings together women from different generations, political views and upbringing to dive into cultural and political events of the day. WSB's Michelle Wright joins the show to talk specifically about Walters's signature pull-no-punches style, “scoop” journalism, and impact on women in her profession. Walters passed away in December of 2022 and The Georgia Politics Podcast is proud to honor her legacy and contributions to political commentary and journalism with this special episode.

Despite her busy schedule, Brandy Vega listened when an Apostle said she needed to do more with her spiritual gifts. Later she found out why she needed to act on his words.WARNING: This post (and podcast ) mentions suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health or thoughts of suicide, visit Good Deed Revolution to find resources.Creating the Ideal CareerBrandy Vega has always worked hard. Without financial support from her parents, she had no choice but to self-fund her education and career, especially given her lofty goal of becoming the "next Katie Couric" on national television. So upon learning that the military had a broadcast journalism program and would pay for the training, Brandy enlisted at 17 years old and headed out.Within a few years, she returned as a reservist and landed an on-air reporting job for FOX News. Her career went according to plan (maybe even better than planned) until she got pregnant and found herself telling bedtime stories instead of national news.Not to be deterred, Brandy took some baby steps backward and worked various jobs in TV as an employee and a freelancer for different clients, including The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Then, about ten years later, she left the grind she had formerly aspired to and took a job as the Vice President of Media & Marketing for a company based in Utah. Later, in an even more dramatic leap of faith, Brandy left the stability of the corporate world and started her own video production company--Vega Media Studios. Somewhere in that mix, she had a second child, fostered (and later adopted) another, and became a surrogate mother too.With so many work and personal projects underway, it's hard to imagine someone telling her she wasn't doing enough.But that's what happened.While working on a broadcast for The Church on the impact of social media and how critical it is that we use this tool for good, Elder David A. Bednar approached Brandy with a question.He asked, "What spiritual gifts did Heavenly Father give you?"Brand replied, "Well, I knew I wanted to be in journalism and broadcasting at ten years old, and so here I am. I'm helping you and The Church get their message across to the world."Brandy recalls, "He said, basically, that's not enough. Heavenly Father gave you those gifts so you could reach all ends of the Earth. ... You need to do more with the gifts He gave you."Gulp.That's when Brandy started Good Deed Revolution, a non-profit organization initially dedicated to sharing inspirational stories of good deeds performed throughout the world. But the mission changed after Brandy's daughter attempted suicide.In this podcast episode, Brandy shares more about her career journey, the hardships she had to overcome, and how those original aspirations led to developing the skills and connections she would eventually need to make a more significant impact by sharing her own story rather than simply publicizing big moments in other people's lives.Mentioned in this interview:Brandy Vega websiteB~~~~~Visit the website: FaithfulCareerMoves.com: Faith-based Career Coaching for Stay-at-Home Moms Get the book: Return to Work with Confidence: A faith-based guide to help stay-at-home moms re-enter the workforce Follow us: Instagram @FaithfulCareerMoves Facebook @FaithfulCareerMoves

In some locales, the period between Christmas and the New Year is known as the Wild Nights, where mischief reigns in the darkest days of the northern hemisphere. We're digging into this theme for our last show of 2022, in a chat with photographer and producer of this very podcast, Jill Waterman, who has been documenting New Year's Eve traditions and exploits around the globe for the past 38 years. We first spoke with Jill about this project in the two-part show Legacy and Commitment in January 2022. Since she's now a full-fledged member of the podcast team, we thought we'd investigate some of her more memorable experiences a bit further. Jill is still shooting this series primarily with film, so our conversation ranges from the whys and wherefores of making that choice, to how the growth of the Internet became an essential research tool in the lead up to the Millennium and beyond. We also shed light on the elusive Austrian Perchten and Bulgarian Kukeri, and discuss parading Philadelphia Mummers, Bahamian Junkanoo figures, and Cape Town, South Africa's legendary Minstrel Parade. To learn about the most rewarding aspect of Jill's project and find out where she'll be ringing in New Year's Eve 2023, pull up a seat, pop some bubbly and listen in!

Whether you are a parent, know one, or have been paying any attention at all, you'll know that the pandemic was a breaking point for caregivers and mothers in particular. “Moms are the shock absorbers of society,” says New York Times journalist Jessica Grose. “Everyone realized that when things fell apart, moms were just expected to be there to pick up the pieces.” Well, moms have had enough. But are our policies, workplaces, and cultural norms progressing fast enough to give modern mothers — and fathers — the support they need? On this two-part episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, Katie explores the impossibilities of modern parenthood with two experts who have been living it and writing about it: journalist Jessica Grose and clinical psychologist (and “millennial parenting whisper”) Dr. Becky Kennedy. Jessica's new book, “Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood,” which is out Dec. 6, dismantles 200 years of unrealistic parenting expectations to empower all those who might be struggling out there. Jessica and Katie talk about that historical context, as well as solutions that are already being put into place, and how and where moms are finding reprieve.

Five years ago, on Oct. 5, 2017, the New York Times published an article written by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey. The headline read: “Harvey Weinstein Paid Off Sexual Harassment Accusers for Decades.” Fueled by the Hollywood stars in the story, Jodi and Megan's reporting made the Me Too movement — started by Tarana Burke in 2006 — go viral. Now the reporters and their incredible investigation are the subjects of a feature film called “She Said,” which is based on the eponymous book they co-wrote in 2019. The movie stars Zoe Kazan and Carey Mulligan and not only focuses on the personal lives of the reporters and how they got the story no one else could, but also the lives of their sources — the regular women whose careers were cut short and lives altered because of Weinstein's torment. “They wanted to break into the industry,” Megan tells Katie, “and instead they experienced attacks and harassment and abuse and to see in this movie the toll that has taken on their lives so many years later. I mean, it wrote them out of the industry.” On this episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, Katie and the New York Times reporters talk about the bizarre experience of seeing their lives unfold on screen, the power of journalism, the comfort of the newsroom, and the lasting impacts of Me Too.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The new movie “Call Jane” is a period piece about abortion and reproductive activism in the years before Roe vs Wade was enacted. But given our post-Roe world and the very real consequences of abortion bans across the country, the plot — about a suburban housewife who desperately needs an abortion but can't get one in her state — sounds like it could be ripped from our 2022 headlines. What can a story about our past struggles teach us about our present circumstances? Why is levity a convincing tool in the fight for bodily autonomy?

We are just a few weeks out from the 2022 midterms and there is a lot to unpack — makeup of the House, will the Senate flip, the very future of our democracy! To help us understand what is truly at stake this Nov. 8, Katie brings on three political strategists to break it all down. On this episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, Katie is joined by her former podcast co-host (and current Democratic political and media strategist) Brian Goldsmith, as well as Lis Smith, who is a 20-year veteran of Democratic political campaigns -- from Barack Obama 2012 to Pete Buttigieg 2020 -- and Republican political consultant Mike Murphy who, with David Axelrod, hosts the political podcast “Hacks on Tap”. The group walks through the biggest issues driving voters to the polls, the impact of Roe, the races that could change up Congress and how all of this affects what's to come in 2024. Check out Lis Smith's new memoir, “Any Given Tuesday: A Political Love Story.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Geena Davis has been a face we have come to know on screen for 40 years. And despite being in the public eye for so long, Geena is one of those actors who has cleverly obscured herself and her personal life behind the scenes. But now, she's putting her whole self out there with a memoir called Dying of Politeness. On this episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, Katie and Geena talk about her “throwback” childhood, girlhood trauma, and some of her most iconic roles. They talk about the feminist thread that has shaped Geena's career, the inescapable misogyny of Hollywood, and how she carved her own professional path in the second phase of life. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
