E273. Katherine Brodsky Refuses To Apologize

Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy

Katherine Brodsky, author of No Apologies: How To Find And Free Your Voice In The Age of Outrage , sits down with Bridget to discuss navigating mob outrage, the importance of using your voice, what happens in society when people are unable to freely exchange ideas, when the mob came for her, the difference between people who didn’t survive their cancellations and those who did, and the importance of the idea that free speech is not just for the speech you like. They discuss the difference between accountability & cancel culture, why you should have conversations with people who hold views you find hateful, why everyone’s afraid of the left, the rise in calls for cancellation from the right, the academic indoctrination of the younger generations, real life relationships vs online relationships, the reaction to the book, and why it’s hard to be undecided in today's cultural landscape.

Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity. On Walk-Ins Welcome, she talks about the beautiful failures and frightening successes of her own life and the lives of her guests. She doesn’t conduct interviews—she has conversations. Conversations with real people about the real struggle and will remind you that we can laugh in pain and cry in joy but there’s no greater mistake than hiding from it all. By embracing it all, and celebrating it with the stories she’ll bring listeners, she believes that our lowest moments can be the building blocks for our eventual fulfillment.
