Hollie McKay is an Australian born journalist who formerly worked for Fox News. She is a national bureau correspondent covering national and international news from Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Russia, Turkey, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, Myanmar and Ukraine. She's also a return guest to the Mike Drop Podcast - previously Hollie joined the show on Episode 69 to talk about her time covering the war-torn Iraq/Syria region in the Middle East in her book 'Only Cry for the Living' along with Episode 81, where she walked us through daily happenings of the Taliban as they rapidly gained ground in the Middle East.

But Hollie's latest travels have surfaced new world crises - since she last joined the program, she's traveled through Sudan covering U.S. involvement in a number of global conflicts, along with having covered new bioweapon threats through fentanyl-laced weapons in Iran.
