Moments with Candace Parker

We’re bringing you an episode of a new podcast we think you’ll love: The Amendment. A new podcast about gender, politics, and power from The 19th News and Wonder Media Network, The Amendment is hosted by award-winning journalist and 19th editor-at-large Errin Haines. Each week, Errin sits down with people who have fresh perspectives on the state of our country – and asks questions that center the voices of women, queer folks, and people of color. The Amendment adds much needed asterisks to America’s most pressing political conversations – and gets clear on the unfinished work of our democracy. In this episode, we hear from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones on what role the free press should play in ensuring the survival of our democracy. Nikole Hannah-Jones is the creator of the 1619 Project, Knight Chair in Race and Journalism at Howard University, and a leading voice on the vital role of journalism in our democracy today. In the inaugural episode of The Amendment, Errin and Nikole discuss the current state of journalism, the high stakes of this presidential election, the importance of historical context in our political moment, the challenges faced by Black women in journalism and more. 

This week on our season finale, I’m talking with NFL Hall of Famer and GMA co-host, Michael Strahan. Michael and I talk about being a girl dad to his twin teenage daughters and how to have a successful second act after retiring from sports. I’ll also be chatting with Capital One's Karelis Barrios, Vice President of Commercial Banking, during this week’s Capital One Café break.

This week, I'm talking with Dr. Lucy Kalanithi, a physician, a mother, a storyteller, and host of the podcast Gravity. Lucy's late husband, Dr. Paul Kalanithi, wrote When Breath Becomes Air, a book I've read, and loved, and gifted to so many important people in my life. Lucy and I explore raising kids who have lost a parent, living through grief, and using meaning as a something of a lifeboat. I'll also be talking with Heather Winkle, Head of Design at Capital One.

I’m excited to share another bonus episode brought to you live from Chicago’s Capital One Café as part of their virtual event series. This time I sat down with entrepreneurial spirits Jonathan Bennett (Mean Girls) and Ali Maffucci who drop some wisdom on how we can talk to loved ones about money—without making it awkward or difficult. We have a shortened version for you here, but you can watch the whole live streamed event at CapitalOneCafeEvents.com.

This week, I’m talking with Adam Mansbach, author of Go The F*ck to Sleep. We're going deep into the power of radical honesty, the diversity of parenting styles -- and the beauty of finally getting your kids to actually go to bed. I’ll also be chatting with Capital One's Kaitlyn Haggerty during this week’s Capital One Café break. CW: This episode contains some mild profanity. Welcome to Moments with Candace Parker, a podcast that celebrates parenthood. Each week, I talk with friends you might recognize. We share stories about the joys of parenting, pregnancy, surviving loss, and many others you’ve never heard before.
