We're back with another edition of the Federalist Radio Hour.

I'm Emily Dishinsky, culture editor here at the Federalist.

As always, you can email the show at radioatthefederalist.com, follow us on Twitter at FDRLST, make

sure to subscribe wherever you download your podcasts as well.

Today, I'm joined by Catherine Stevens.

She's the founder and the CEO of a new group.

It's called The Center on Childhood and Family Policy, Catherine.

Thank you so much for joining us.

Thanks so much for having me, Emily.

What I like to do with people when it's their first time on the show is have them

kind of walk us through their background.

So listeners kind of get a feel from where you're from, where you've been.

And then as we talk about where you're going, it kind of makes more sense that people

have the context.

So, Catherine, I know you spent time at AEI.

What has your career kind of looked like and what's your sort of career background?

What path led you to opening this new center?

Sure.

Thanks again for having me today.

Yeah, so I would say pretty unexpected that I would be running a public policy organization

in the Think Tank Space, National Think Tank Space in DC.

I really have never been a political person or paid much attention to politics at all.
