History Podcast ‘Landslide’
The Republican Convention of 1976. It was personal, cutthroat, and ultimately reshaped a party that was headed for self-destruction. The battle between Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford ended on the convention floor in Kansas City, but it was the beginning of the new conservative party. Former CapRadio journalist Ben Bradford’s new podcast Landslide takes us through the closest presidential primary in U.S. history and how it opened and widened the political divide in America that continues today.
‘Diasporican: A Puerto Rican Cookbook’
A Sacramento-raised writer became the first Puerto Rican food columnist in the United States, earning a James Beard Award for her debut book Diasporican: A Puerto Rican Cookbook which is a visual record of recipes - including her family's - with the goal of preserving the diaspora. Illyanna Maisonet joins us about her journey of discovering how food connects us to family, history, conflict, and migration - ahead of her event at the Sacramento Public Library.
