Commentator, columnist & talk show host, Karen Kataline received her Master’s Degree in Social Work from Columbia University and is a frequent guest host on AM Talk Radio. She is the producer and host of Spouting Off, a live, Internet call-in talk show covering politics, pop culture and a little psychology thrown in. Her Op Eds can be seen in Investor’s Business Daily, Western Journal, Town Hall, The Daily Caller and The American Thinker. A proud Colorado native, her first career as a professional actress/singer took her on tour around the country and to New York City, where she eventually discovered that she preferred saying her own words to memorizing somebody else’s. She still lends her operatic voice to fundraisers and community events. She has sung the National Anthem and God Bless America in numerous venues from State Legislatures to the New Jersey Nets. Ms. Kataline has practiced as a clinician and consultant in the mental health field. Her expertise has earned her consulting contracts with physicians’ groups, nursing organizations and home health care companies.

 She has been a corporate trainer for business executives and an adjunct professor in communications and public speaking for institutions like the New School for Social Research and Parsons School of Design in New York and New Jersey’s Montclair State College and Fairleigh Dickenson University. She is the author of an award-winning memoir, FATLASH! Food Police & the Fear of Thin, a personal account and analysis of her experience with child beauty pageants, food restriction and her “stage mother on steroids.”

Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney are veteran investigative journalists, writers, film producers and directors, and two of the most successful crowdfunders in the world. McAleer began his career in journalism covering the Northern Ireland troubles, first as a reporter in Crossmaglen (known as Bandit Country) and then for the Irish News in Belfast. McAleer was a foreign correspondent for the Financial Times. He also covered Romania and Bulgaria for the Economist. Before that he covered Ireland for the UK Sunday Times. McElhinney and McAleer have also made documentaries for BBC, CBC (Canada), and RTE (Ireland). They have worked as journalists and filmmakers in countries including the US, Canada, Romania, Bulgaria, Chile, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Ghana, and Uganda. McAleer caused a storm when his play Ferguson, about the police shooting of Michael Brown, was staged in Los Angeles—alternative newspaper LA Weekly said Ferguson was "divisive, but riveting" and "an incendiary night of theatre." Author and radio personality Mark Steyn praised McAleer’s online series Clinton Emails on Film, saying it was “the work you can guarantee most of the American media have no stomach for.” Their latest investigative project focuses on Kermit Gosnell. They produced the Gosnell movie, which they financed by running a massive crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. It was one of the most successful Indiegogo campaigns in history. Over 26,500 people funded the film, contributing $2.25m in forty-five days. As of now, the project has raised over $2.34m from over 29,000 people.
