Coming Up On Connections: Monday, November 21st

Rachel Barnhart

First hour: Rachel Barnhart on her book, Broad, Casted

Second hour: Garth Fagan on the new season

Former journalist Rachel Barnhart has released a book about her experience in politics. The title is a nod to the book's exploration of the role of gender in politics. It's called Broad, Casted. Barnhart has said that even after years covering politics, she was not prepared for the sexism she encountered. Her critics -- particularly critics in the Democratic Party -- argue that she has misjudged some common political tactics as being sexist. We'll discuss that, along with her career and her future.

In our second hour: Legendary choreographer Garth Fagan is preparing to debut a new work as part of the upcoming Garth Fagan Dance season. We'll sit down with Fagan to discuss his work. Our guests:

  • Garth Fagan, founder of Garth Fagan Dance
  • Norwood Pennewell, choreographer
  • Bill Ferguson, faculty member at Garth Fagan Dance School
