RadioNation with Laura Flanders: Saturday Robert Redford, James Longley, Patricia Foulkrod, Byron Hurt; Sunday: Elizabeth Holtzman, Joel Pomeroy . . .

Kat here. Dead to the world, but here. It seems like I blinked and lost a whole week. I bet a lot of you feel that way. It's a good kind of tired knowing that you're doing everything you can to get the message to your senators that Alito doesn't belong on the Supreme Court.

But it's been a week. And you know if I'm here, I'm either talking about music or Laura Flanders. It's Saturday, so guess which topic I'm here for?

RadioNation with Laura Flanders! She's still in Utah and this time Laura's live from Sundance. With the Sundance Kid himself, Robert Redford! That's right, Saturday's show will feature an exclusive interview with Robert Redford. Now for some of the younger members, this may not seem like a big deal; however, Redford doesn't do a large number of interviews. Growing up, I knew Redford wouldn't be sitting down with Johnny Carson each time he had a film due out. So Laura interviewing him is a very big deal. (The last time I remember seeing an interview with him, and I'm sure he's done one since, was when Gloria Steinem interviewed him on The Today Show. I believe that was in the early eighties.)
