The Kathie J Show

Were you bullied as a kid? I was—and so was my daughter’s gym teacher, Mr. Norris. Back to school brings big emotions and, sometimes, bullies. On The Kathie J Show, he shares the “3 Ts” he teaches his students each year and how they can help your family. Bullying can happen at any age, but no one deserves to feel small. Let’s help each other shine!

In this episode, I learn to play the saxophone all over again — with a little help from my "other daughter," Taylor. She brought her two saxes, I dug mine out of the closet, and let's just say the muscle memory took a minute to kick in. The arts will stay with you forever. We laughed, we honked, we had the best time.

Crystal one of our favorite interns back on the Morning Show with Larry and Kendall. Today she's a digital accessibility advocate, self-taught engineer, and improv comedian on a mission to prove that entertainment shouldn't come with an asterisk. July is Disability Pride Month, and the 2026 theme says it all: "The World Works Better With Us." In this conversation, Crystal makes the case — closed captions, curb cuts, handrails, voice assistants — all designed for disabled people first, now used by everyone. Accessibility isn't charity. It's innovation. Crystal is also the creator of "Accommodate This: A Night of Disability Pride Comedy" at RISE Comedy in Denver on July 5th — a fully accessible improv show with ASL interpreters, live captioning, and a sensory room. Support it on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/... This one's fun, it's real, and Crystal's energy is everything. Hit play.

A journey you need to see between a father and his son. Color Book premieres on Netflix this Father's Day weekend. Winner of 30 film festival awards, this is the story of a dad's unconditional love, the weight of raising his son alone, and the moments of joy that show up when you least expect them. I talked with the film's young star Jeremiah Daniels, his dad Terrance, and Global Down Syndrome Foundation CEO Michelle Sie Whitten about what this movie means — for their family, for the Down syndrome community, and for every parent who's ever shown up when it was hard.

When ALS forced my coworker, Karen Miller, to step away from her career early, we sat down for an honest, emotional conversation. Karen opens up about her diagnosis, the changes happening to her body and the experimental treatment trial giving her reason to hope. I also asked the hard questions: Are you scared? What do you want your family to know? This is Karen, in her own words, and I'm honored she shared with us.
