Writer Kennedy Ryan uses romance novels as a vehicle for discourse

2 July - 45 mins
Podcast Series Fresh Air

The romance books Kennedy Ryan read growing up rarely included characters who looked like her. Now she deliberately centers people the genre has left out – like women of color and women with chronic illness and disabilities. The award-winning novelist spoke with Tonya Mosley about her “Trojan horse” storylines, the value of the sex scene, and giving people happily-ever-afters. 

Also, TV critic David Bianculli reviews Craig Ferguson’s new CNN series ‘American On Purpose.’
