Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy

E356. Foreign Influence In Higher Education - Sarah McLaughlinSenior Scholar at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), Sarah McLaughlin sits down with Bridget to discuss her book, Authoritarians In the Academy: How the Internationalization of Higher Education and Borderless Censorship Threaten Free Speech. Sarah addresses the problems of foreign authoritarian regimes infiltrating American academia; from students fearing family backlash back home, to governments attempting to silence dissenting voices in colleges outside their borders, to universities choosing foreign cash over free expression, there is a hidden free speech issue going on in higher education. She and Bridget cover the issues facing satellite campuses, Confucius Institutes, study abroad programs & research grants, how universities are not being transparent when it comes to ways they can’t challenge the local laws, how money and global ambitions are clashing with academic freedom, the disconnect between what you promise your students and what the law is, why the fight for free speech is worse both globally and in the US since she started working for FIRE, and why higher education should be a place where students from around the world can come and access the freedoms America offers.

E350. Drink Your Way Sober - Katie HerzogKatie Herzog, co-host of the Blocked & Reported podcast, returns to Walk-Ins Welcome to discuss her new book Drink Your Way Sober. She and Bridget have a frank conversation about alcoholism, the steps you take to hide it from your loved ones, Katie's realization that it would kill her, and how Naltrexone helped her drink her way sober and banished the desire to drink, something she'd never experienced before. They cover how the drug works, why it won't work for everyone, the difference between drinking habits, reward drinkers vs. relief drinkers, their current addictions, why Perimenopause is just a branding term, driverless cars, Pee-wee Herman, the wild world of Mormon influencers who party without a drop, how to deal with family members who want to read the book you wrote, why as a writer, the impulse to self-protect is weaker than the impulse to tell a good story.
