Connections Radio – March 29, 2025

Hosts Laurie Fitz and Rick Bernardo visit a 4th time with University of Connecticut’s Professor of English, well-known author, and humorist, Gina Barreca. (Rick sought her out years ago after seeing her book on women, academia, and humor: “They Used to Call Me Snow White… But I Drifted.”) Our broadcast follows the 4th book in her edited “Fast Women” series: “Fast Famous Women: 75 Essays of Flash Nonfiction” (Woodhall Press). Her book about 75 famous women—written by 75 great authors—is a delight with insights about women, fame, and our culture at large. Our conversations with Gina about significant subjects are always a blast. – www.GinaBarreca.com • www.WoodhallPress.com
