Episode 70: the Rat Chronicles with Dr. Amy Kittelstrom

Dr. Amy Kittelstrom, is a professor of history at Sonoma State University and author of the book the Religion of Democracy (https://www.amazon.com/Religion-Democracy-Liberals-American-Tradition/dp/1594204853) . I asked this incredibly accomplished historian to talk about “Rats,” the rodents, and the proverbial rats of the world. We talk about what it is like to be a single mother homeowner and accomplished historian who needs some home repairs done and rats removed from the house. I am grateful for the opportunity to share Dr. Kittelstrom, one of my closest friends, with my world.

Disclaimers: Our discussion verges on politics, some of which might not be your politics. We also talk about feminism and the trauma of being a woman in a deeply patriarchal and ultimately misogynistic society. That might not be your point of view. We also talk about rodents and having to kill rodents, particularly as Buddhists.
