Episode 17 - Jean Barker, Baroness Trumpington

Jean Barker is a writer, director, and generally a storyteller. Zana, her first comic, is about a South Africa where Nelson Mandela has been killed and apartheid lives on.  Jean and I talked about Zana, her upbringing in South Africa, her writings, her film work, and humanity in general.    We also asked Jean Barker our five Common Room questions about pop culture, food, fitness, fashion, and my signature question.
