Super Wednesday, Part III; Taking the Leap with Sara Davidson and Exploring Two Specialty Film Festivals

Super Wednesday, (Part Two) and Candidate Health Care Plans

On this week's edition of The Heather Taylor Show, Boomer Radio we'll celebrate yet another Super Wednesday--following Tuesday's Democratic and Republican Primary in Mississippi. To help make sense of the election day outcome and to examine the health care plans of the presidential candidates, I'll be joined by Washington lobbyist Thomas P. Nickels, Senior Vice President for Legislative Affairs of the American Hospital Association, an interest group representing 5,000 hospitals.

Taking the Leap! in Midlife

Sara Davidson, a successful journalist, screenwriter and the best-selling author of Loose Change joins me to talk about her acclaimed new book, Leap! What Will We Do With the Rest of Our Lives? She interviewed a wide range of people from across the country, including teachers, psychologists, and businesspeople, as well as well-known figures like Carly Simon, Tom Hayden, Iman, Jane Fonda and Tracy Kidder. Her book has just recently been released in paperback. (Rebroadcast from September 19, 2007).

Specialty Film Festivals in DC: the 16th Annual Environmental Film Festival and the 10th Annual DC Independent Film Festival

Boomers can be credited with the beginning of a viable environmental movement in the United States, and were perhaps among the first to consider putting together a festival featuring non-Hollywood, independent films. In celebration of two distinct film festivals taking place in Washington, DC this week, I'll be talking with DC Independent Film Festival director, Carol Bidault and Environmental Film Festival managing director, Peter O'Brien join me to talk about this year's offerings.
