First hour: State Senator Rich Funke
Second hour: Rochester Reads 2017: The Enchanted by Rene Denfeld
State Senator Rich Funke sits down with us for the hour to discuss state business, from ride sharing to the governor's free tuition plan, education spending to taxes.
Then in our second hour, Rochester Reads is Writers & Books annual event, choosing one title for the community to read together. They've selected The Enchanted by Rene Denfeld, a book about a death row in an ancient stone prison. Through the eyes of an inmate who finds escape in books and in re-imagining the life around him is woven a fantastical tale of the people he observes and the world he inhabits. We'll talk to Denfeld about the book, and the upcoming events surrounding her visit. Our guests:
- Rene Denfeld, author of The Enchanted
- Kyle Semmel, executive director of Writers & Books
- Karen vanMeenen, director of special projects at Writers & Books
