Andrew Reiner, Author – Brief but Spectacular – PBS NewsHour
This brief (but spectacular) interview was extra special because I was joined by my son Macallah, then 9. He steals the show in this conversation about what boys need for emotional resiliency. What a gift to be introduced by the inimitable broadcast journalist and icon Judy Woodruff.

This interview was a difficult but necessary conversation (I’ve been pushing for) that needs greater traction: the under-reported, under-discussed depression, emotional isolation and suicide epidemics among young men. Once again, it was an honor to be interviewed by a journalism hero and icon—in this case, Christiane Amanpour.

This interview with Tapestry host Mary Hynes was the perfect conversation—honest, hopefully thoughtful, mutually respectful, organic, lacking in any agenda. Leave it to the Canadians!
