Our week in politics roundtable discusses how the sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is scrambling politics. Also, chef-turned-TV star Anthony Bourdain used his CNN documentary series “Parts Unknown” to bring attention not only to food, but also to the social, political and economic challenges that people around the world face. We speak with longtime “Parts Unknown” executive producer Sandra Zweig, who says she can’t imagine there will be another show like it again. And the prep schools that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser Christine Blasey Ford attended in the ’80s are elite, exclusive and expensive. Adam Howard, a professor of education at Colby College, explains the “incredible amount of privilege, and a sense of entitlement” he’s found researching these kinds of prep schools. That and more, in hour one of Here & Now’s Sept. 21, 2018 full broadcast.
