Journal, guardian and many others, please join me. Hello, lisa. I have never ever interviewed my author. Im so excited about this fun exchange, i never talk to my authors, usually, through the beginning of the process but never in this way do we talk about it so this is a great experience for me and thank you for having me. I am happy to be here so i wanted to start out, we should start by saying how this wonderful book you have written has come to be and i will tell my side of the story. I was so in love with the proposal the way you sent it with your agent, and i was excited, i am a mother of a 10yearold boy, i had a brother and sister and was very familiar, about this, it seems like you and i have experiences with this and we look about the same age. We see generally generationally, changing the way we define ourselves. I was not the only parent who didnt have it this week, and how we should talk about it these days. To understand it for myself, and the gender discussion these days

I have never ever interviewed my author so i am so excited about this fun exchange that were going to have. I dont get to talk to my authors about their books in this way. Usually we are hammering it out editorially through the beginning pages of the process but never in this way can we go back in and talk about it together so this is a great experience for me
You have actually read the book. Unlike all those other miami who interviewed you, i read the book and not only that, i highlighted it. I made notes. I come on. This doesnt happen in movies where the movie critics dont watch the movies but i happens in books. People talk about books without reading them so grateful to you. People say im work off your wiki page. And i just want to be a better journalist than everybody else. I feel like i can do better than Rachel Maddow right now. I would dont go deeper. We have more time, congratulations on the book. I thought it was really great and helped organize a lot of ideas pout what is happening at fox news that we all wonder but which is how this happened, how destructive is it, and is it ever going to get better or just a part of our world at this point thats never going to change . Ill start out with other question how you got into journalism. I get the sense from the book and you didnt spend a lot of time on this, that you were a journal gl
Science and technology being applied to deal with them today. After that, Prime Ministers questions from the british house of commons. Then a campaign profile of joe biden. Host eric jay dolin, in your new book about hurricane history i , thought it would be interesting to start our discussion with one of the stories you tell because its the deadliest hurricane in American History and also the 120th anniversary.

The laws of hurricanes indicate that hurricanes would rarely hit texas. They were lulled into a false sense of complacency. As the hurricane got closer and closer. Isaac kline became more and more alarmed. It was really up to the Headquarters Office

To decide whether or not a hurricane was coming and whether or not you needed to put up hurricanes warning flags. The local meterologists such as isaac kline had left latitude in calling the shots. So on the morning of september 8,
