This week Tayla is joined by Justin Silverman from the New England First Amendment Coalition and Ed Fitzpatrick from the Boston Globe. Ed shares his experience working as a journalist and how journalism has changed since he began. Justin speaks to the importance of protecting the first amendment and the free press for our democracy. They also discuss Katherine Switzer and the Boston marathon, mockumentaries, Queer Eye. During The Last Chapter they discuss: Are you a re-reader and if so what do you find yourself rereading?
