They cover her journey from a young music enthusiast in LA to becoming a respected rock journalist, including her pivotal moment of winning Rolling Stones concert tickets that led to her radio career, the best and worst day of her life, the emotional weight of writing the book which took 40 years to sit down and write - largely due to the trauma of Lennon's death and her guilt about encountering his killer earlier that day. They also discuss her challenging childhood, the development of her interviewing techniques, and her impressive career interviewing music legends like The Ramones, Talking Heads, Little Richard, and Beatles producer George Martin. </p><p>Sponsor Links:</p><p>- <a target="_blank" href="http://caliberstrong.com/walkins">Check out Caliber the strength training & nutrition coaching program that's completely personalized to you.

E309. Hey! Teacher! Leave Them Kids Alone! - Erika Sanzi
<p>Bridget sits down with Erika Sanzi, the Director of Outreach at Parents Defending Education (PDE), an organization dedicated to addressing ideological biases in schools. She and Bridget discuss PDE’s mission to bring political neutrality back into classrooms, the indoctrination of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and gender identity policies in schools, the suppression and compelled speech of students, and how we got to this point. They cover the reemergence of treating people differently based on their immutable characteristics like skin color, the oppressor/oppressed frame that’s being taught to children, the emphasis on ideology over basic skills like reading and math, the realities of “gender affirming care", how gender ideology is chipping away at kids’ childhoods and why it has no place in schools, the Biden administration’s gutting of Title IX, and how easy it is to brainwash children. </p><p>Sponsor Links:</p><p>- <a target="_blank" href="http://caliberstrong.com/walkins">Check out Caliber the strength training & nutrition coaching program that's completely personalized to you.

E308. Bureaucracy is Crushing American Dreams
<p>Max Meyer joins Bridget to talk about the new tech magazine he just launched <a target="_blank" href="https://arenamag.com/"><em>Arena</em></a>. They discuss <a target="_blank" href="https://arenamag.com/"><em>Arena's</em></a> mission to be on the side of the future and the people building it, his desire to offer a tech magazine that's an alternative to the other big name tech magazines out there that seem focused on demoralizing people about the future and making them fear things, instead offering a pro-American, pro-technology perspective while acknowledging valid concerns about technology and its risks. They cover automation's future impact and why Max believes it transforms rather than eliminates jobs, comparing phones to weapons, using AI tools, the focus of education in India and China vs the US, the success of the American spirit, Trump's connection with working-class voters, Biden administration policies that have crushed entrepreneurship, why driving round America is an important thing to do, his advice for people who've experienced profound loss, and how finding strength teaches you how to do it again.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://arenamag.com/">Subscribe to Arena Magazine</a></p><p>Sponsor Links:</p><p>- <a target="_blank" href="http://caliberstrong.com/walkins">Check out Caliber the strength training & nutrition coaching program that's completely personalized to you.
