Writer Joanna Howard Discusses Her New Memoir, "Rerun Era"

Aired on Friday, October 25th.

Our guest is the Colorado-based writer and writing instructor, Joanna Howard. She grew up in the Sooner State, and her newly published memoir, "Rerun Era," looks back on her childhood amid the environmentally and economically damaged rural flatlands of Northeastern Oklahoma. The book interweaves her personal memories, her family's larger story and dynamics, and the various TV shows that they all came together to watch (and bond over) in the late 1970s and early '80s. Please note that Howard will appear at a free-to-the-public reading/discussion in regard to this book on Monday night, the 28th, at Duet Jazz Club. More details on this event are posted here.
