Coming up on the show today, we’ll listen to Marty’s interview with JENNIFER FINNEY-BOYLAN. She joined us in 2003 to discuss her memoir, She’s Not There: A Life in Two Genders, and was recently awarded the Spirit of Justice Award for her work advocating for the transgender community. We’ll also hear Marty’s conversation with University of Pennsylvania professor of political science and communication, DIANA MUTZ. She joined us to discuss her book In-Your-Face Politics: The Consequences of Uncivil Media, which examines the effect that the increasingly-partisan news media is having on political discourse in America.
