Episode Description

Zibby is joined by broadcast journalist, correspondent, and MSNBC anchor Katy Tur to discuss her latest memoir, Rough Draft. While Katy's first book — a New York Times bestseller — focused on her time covering Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, her new project takes readers into her life growing up as the daughter of two journalists as she worked to make her own name in the industry. Katy tells Zibby what it was like to abruptly shift from an international to a political correspondent, how she's processing the abusive behavior she witnessed in her childhood, and the effect she hopes this book will have on her family as well as readers everywhere.
