The Binary Trap With Kat Timpf

What happens to our nation’s discourse when every issue has only two possible positions? This week, Roger welcomes Kat Timpf to explore the complexities of division within American society. They discuss how embracing vulnerability can be a tool to diffuse that division and examine the dangers of binary thinking, touching on topics like religion, mental health and the size of government. Plus, discover how Kat’s journalism background led to her successful career as a television personality, writer and comedian.

Kat is a regular panelist on Fox News’ “Gutfeld!” and her national comedy live show has sold out theaters across the country. She’s a 2012 Robert Novak Journalism Fellow and her work has been widely published in major outlets. Kat is The New York Times bestselling author of “You Can't Joke About That: Why Everything Is Funny, Nothing Is Sacred, and We're All in This Together” and her new book, “I Used To Like You Until...(How Binary Thinking Divides Us)” has just been released and is available wherever fine books are sold.
