"Showbiz Politics" with Kathryn Cramer Brownell

  • Summary

  • The connection between Washington politics and Hollywood celebrity is often taken for granted today, but, historically speaking, it hasn't always been the case. On this episode of Recollecting Carter, I talk with Dr. Kathryn Cramer Brownell. Katie talks about her research into the origins of what she calls "showbiz politics," and the surprising role that President Carter played in the creation of the 24 hour news cycle.
