Cultural Controversy and Our Lives with Shannon Fisher Shannon Fisher

Physician Maureen Michele was faced with a medical challenge from an unexpected perspective: that of a parent. When her daughter received two different life-altering diagnoses, Maureen was already managing a full plate of career, household, and family responsibilities. Managing her daughter’s chronic serious illnesses tested her mettle in ways she could not have imagined, and the journey strengthened her fortitude in every area of life.



Maureen’s success in managing this journey has added another title to her resume: Life Coach. Maureen now coaches parents of children with serious chronic illnesses, and she has written a book to help them learn to manage the stress and logistics of this parenting challenge. Reclaiming Life: A Guide for Parents of Chronically Ill Children weaves themes of identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts with specific suggestions on how to approach family caretaking responsibilities and goal-setting in general. She talks with Shannon Fisher about the helpful tips and tricks in the book that can turn an overwhelmed caretaker into a nearly-unshakable boss.

With a field of primary candidates as large as the Democrats’ in 2020, keeping up-to-date with election news is challenging. The process is even more daunting for political journalists who gather ever-changing data from candidates, pollsters, strategists, and voters across the country. Effectively analyzing and organizing this information into an easily digestible package for the public is a skill that takes years to develop. CNN’s John King, host of Inside Politics, has spent his career covering elections from nearly every angle. King talks to NPC Broadcast/Podcast team member Shannon Fisher about capturing the of-the-moment essence of elections, finding the pulse of America, and the manner in which media coverage of general elections differs from that of crowded primaries.

Historian Scott Satterwhite joins Shannon Fisher to discuss his book, A PUNKHOUSE IN THE DEEP SOUTH: THE ORAL HISTORY OF 309. For nine years, Satterwhite was among the residents who called a house at 309 6th Avenue in Pensacola, Florida home. With the help of donors, he has since purchased the property to restore it and preserve the history of the subculture that made the 309 Punkhouse a crossroads for many an outsider in Pensacola. The book features oral narratives by many of the home’s residents over the course of nearly three decades.
