David is joined by Russian-American journalist Masha Gessen about Russia and its persecution of the LGBT community which came to a boiling point in 2012 with the artist collective Pussy Riot. As a mother and a member of the LGBT community, Gessen made the decision to leave Russia after the country’s government outlawed anything they consider “gay propaganda” and also began cracking down on LGBT parents.
David chats with thriller novelist and former journalist John Katzenbach about his latest work Red 1-2-3. Three of his novels have been made into feature films: In the Heat of the Summer (adapted for the screen as The Mean Season), Hart’s War starring Bruce Willis, and Just Cause starring Sean Connery. His other books include The New York Times bestseller The Traveler; Day of Reckoning and The Shadow Man. Katzenbach was a criminal court reporter for The Miami Herald and Miami News and a featured writer for the Herald’s Tropic magazine.
