Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau is a filmmaker, syndicated talk radio host, and consumer health advocate. After a decade of schlepping drugs for big pharma, she finally got the ovaries to walk away from her career as a pill pusher and share what she knew on the big screen. Her films include Side Effects starring Katherine Heigl and Money Talks: Profits Before Patient Safety which was deemed by the American Library Association as one of the most important films of 2008.

Kathleen has been featured by more than 100 media outlets worldwide, including the New York Times, The Economist, CNN, NPR, Atlantic Monthly, and Oprah Radio. She has also been a contributor to O, The Oprah Magazine.

Recognizing a hunger for good information delivered in an entertaining format as well as the need for some estrogen on the airwaves, Kathleen launched The Kathleen Show, a syndicated radio program which now airs in eight cities throughout the country and is also available online or via podcast at: http://www.thekathleenshow.com The program features the country’s most provocative guests and inspires listeners to push back, live bold and say hell no to the status quo.
