The Body Politic  

“THE BODY POLITIC” is a provocative, new talk show hosted by internationally acclaimed investigative journalist, Suzanne Marcus-Fletcher. The global, call-in talk show, will continue to feature many of the world’s foremost leaders and pioneers in the exploration of gender relations, politics, social issues, changing cultural attitudes, human rights issues, and how the masculine/feminine dynamic plays out in our every day lives. Fletcher is best known for her award winning work on "Children and Women at Risk." The host will continue to interview some of the world's most progressive voices on gender-related issues, social stigmas, and how cultural bias informs our attitudes about human power: Who gets it, who doesn’t, and why. The Body Politics' content is keenly diverse, including a cutting edge new series coined "Dying to Be Thin," which brings America's growing eating disorder epidemics front and center. Previous interviews showcased several of America's rising Classical stars who discussed gender bias in music, to vastly different episodes, highlighting North America's top Thoroughbred racing figures, including celebrated female jockey, Kayla Stra, to pinnacle Hall of Fame Trainer, Jack Van Berg, who discussed the realities for women and men in what remains one of the world's most mysterious sports. Fletcher began the "Body Politic" with an episode on the national teen runaway epidemic. With more than 120 published articles, cover stories, profiles, and news releases, Fletchers’ stories and investigative pieces have been been picked up by the world’s most esteemed media, including: UPI, the Associated Press, Reuters, The Washington Times, The Miami Herald, Chicago Daily Herald, San Francisco Chronicle, Newsday, NY Daily News, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Hollywood Reporter, The Denver Post, The Houston Chronicle, Salt Lake Tribune, Huffington Post, among hundreds of syndicated news wires and media outlets.
