212: Saoirse Ronan and Election 2020

In this 2-part episode, we invite actor Saoirse Ronan and have a hot topic discussion about the 2020 election.

Segment 1: Saoirse stars in the new film 'Ammonite' opposite Kate Winslet. In 1800s England, acclaimed but unrecognized fossil hunter Mary Anning (Kate Winslet) works alone on the rugged Southern coastline. When a wealthy visitor entrusts Mary with the care of his wife Charlotte Murchison (Saoirse Ronan), she cannot afford to turn his offer down. Proud and relentlessly passionate about her work, Mary initially clashes with her unwelcome guest, but despite the distance between their social class and personalities, an intense bond begins to develop, compelling the two women to determine the true nature of their relationship.

Host: Cat
