In the Mouth of the Wolf, or How Free is the Free Press...Investigative Journalism & Uncovering Government Corruption w/ Katherine Corcoran
Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom
This couldn't be a more timely and urgent conversation with author and investigative journalist Katherine Corcoran. As a former AP Mexico bureau chief, her new book "In the Mouth of the Wolf" investigates the m*rder of Regina Martínez, a legendary woman journalist who exposed government corruption in Mexico. With her acclaimed investigative journalist voice, Katherine looks into why so many journalists were m*rdered in Mexico...why would the Mexican government want to censor and silence these journalists?
Katherine emphasizes that when she started her journalism career freedom of the press was a given, but times have changed since the media and journalists are now considered suspect by both politicians and the American public. She explains that it's important to analyze what media you're consuming and whether or not it has a bias. Then, she distinguishes between pundits and journalists, there is a major difference.
This conversation about the future of the free press is a breath of fresh air since Katherine answers all of Andrew's questions. A few questions include how corporate interests have influenced the journalism field, are the American people really that divided, and what the future of the free press looks like both in America and abroad?

How Do We Engage in Healthy Political Debate? Challenging the Old Guard and Disrupting the System w/ William Ferraro
Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom
Do you think that you're able to engage in healthy political conversations right now, especially if you have family, friends, and perhaps even a partner who disagrees with your politics? That's the question that I dissect with today's guest, William Ferraro. Will is not only a good friend of mine but has a background in public policy, was a New York State senate and assembly analyst, and in 2019 ran for Brookhaven Town Supervisor (Suffolk County, New York). He is definitely not afraid to air his political beliefs, and it's extremely refreshing to have such a spirited and unfiltered conversation about how we can try to find political common ground in such a divisive time for American politics.
Be sure to follow him on Instagram, @thatwillferraro.

Diving Into Lesbian Love Stories and Uncovering Female Romances and Role Models w/ Amelia Possanza
Watch/Listen to this and all episodes ad free by joining the ITBR Patreon and get a free trial for the ITBR Professor level! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom
Just in time for Lesbian Visibility Week is an invigorating discussion with Amelia Possanza, a newly minted Lambda Literary Award finalist, about her book "Lesbian Love Story: A Memoir in Archives." Get ready to dive deep into the history of lesbian love stories and explore what it meant to express queer female love before the word "lesbian" even existed. Amelia starts with the mythos behind Sappho, an ancient Greek poet who is known for her queer female love poetry! Then Amelia explores the history of queer women like Gloria Anzaldua, Virginia Woolf, and Mabel Hampton.
She explains that encountering these stories helped her understand how these women were embracing a politics of care and love that existed outside of capitalism. Their stories reveal how capitalism has excluded queer bodies and queer stories since they exist outside of patriarchal systems of oppression. You'll learn a lot from Amelia about how these lesbian ancestors and even Walt Whitman's democratic spirit helped her envision what a caring and inclusive democracy actually looks like. And why did a few gay men on her swim team make her want to look underneath the surface of lesbian romance?
You can find Amelia's book on her website: https://www.ameliapossanza.com/
