Brother Love interviews TV/radio host, author, musician, and painter Katie Cook about her path from a Curb Records deal with her band Reno to a 23-year run at CMT, where she became known for artist interviews and live TV, including a town hall with President Obama. Katie shares how she builds connection with artists, reflects on memorable encounters with Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, George Clooney, and Robert Plant, and describes one difficult interview contrasted with a surprising bond with Charlie Daniels. She discusses co-parenting after divorce, the realities of being a working mother in entertainment, and her approach to aging and self-image. Katie also talks about writing her book series Little Big Benny, her MUFON podcast and lifelong paranormal experiences, her “Alienated” paintings, and how she protects her mental health through grounding, baths, meditation, naps, and managing empathic sensitivity.
