New Bowdoin Podcast to Tackle Issues of Democracy – Bowdoin News

Bowdoin Presents is available here.

This audio offering will tap into the array of talent available within the Bowdoin community, says producer Lisa Bartfai.

The first season, which runs throughout the semester, will examine the broad issue of democracy from several different angles, she adds.

Well be featuring in-depth one-on-one conversations with people who have thought long and hard about our democracy, adds Bartfai, who also hosts the podcast.

The episodes range in length from twenty to forty minutes and feature guests who approach the subject from a number of different perspectives, including a tech entrepreneur, a conservation advocate, and someone with direct experience as a political representative.

The first season contains six episodes, she explains, and the opening one features a conversation with Associate Professor of Government and Asian Studies Henry Laurence.

He and Bartfai discuss the politics behind public broadcasting, which is also the subject of Laurences latest book project.

We talk, among other things, about the role of public broadcasting in laying the groundwork for civic discourse and countering the spread of misinformation and so-called fake news, she says.

Well be featuring in-depth one-on-one conversations with people who have thought long and hard about our democracy.
