Kathryn interviews Professor of International Politics & Economics, Middlebury College Allison Stanger PhD, author of “Whistleblowers: Honesty in America from Washington to Trump.” Whistleblowers face a difficult choice: by exposing corruption, they perform a vital public service yet they historically suffer for it. Stanger reveals the centrality of whistleblowing to American democracy’s wellbeing. She’s contributed to International Herald Tribune, NY Times, USA Today, U.S. News and World Report, and the Washington Post. Kathryn also interviews Filmmaker, Singer & Songwriter Sofia Lyons, director of “THE LONG GOODBYE: The Kara Tippetts Story.” In 2014 and 2015, one young woman in Colorado dared to explore the raw edges of dying with grace and dignity in real time, and, in the process, unknowingly impacted tens of thousands around the world. Lyons chronicled Kara’s story and has been impacting the world as an artist, both musically and visually, for over two and a half decades.
