"Quit your job and start a podcast!" This week on The Divided States of Media, Dan sits down with someone who actually "walks the walk"; Katie Herzog, reporter & Co-Host of Podcast "Blocked and Reported". As a former journalist and new Podcaster - Katie discusses freedom and gratitude for independence, amid shifting journalistic norms, and why after being canceled and harassed multiple times, she made the switch from traditional journalism (as a writer for The Stranger) to podcasting. From her show to her neighborhood Katie's on a mission to bring us all together and that journey begins with empathy.
