"In Context" is a podcast produced by CCSU journalism students. It can be found on SoundCloud and Apple Podcasts. 

​

In my latest episode, I cover the reality television show, The Bachelor, and discuss the controversy surrounding it. Host Chris Harrison is facing criticism after an interview with former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay, where fans saw his comments as racist. Harrison was responding to the backlash The Bachelor contestant Rachael Kirkconnell is facing after photos of her at an old south antebellum plantation-themed fraternity party in 2018 surfaced on social media. Kirkconnell, who is on the current season with Matt James, the first Black bachelor, is still in the running to get engaged. I dug into what this controversy means for both fans and how we talk about race in the U.S. with Kelly Langevin, host and producer of the podcast.
