First Coast Connect

On Thursday’s show: Triathlete pioneer Dottie Dorian

Pioneering First Coast athlete Dottie Dorion is the subject of a new documentary, Beyond Triathlon. We welcome the 90-year-old philanthropist, along with Olympic Gold Medalist Nancy Hogshead, to discuss the evolution of women in sport and exploring the outer limits of physical endurance.

Then, our election coverage continues with a conversation with District 11 state House Rep. Sam Garrison. We ask the incumbent Republican why he’s seeking another term and about the new public sleeping ban, which he helped craft. Garrison will answer your calls and questions at (904) 549-2937 and via email to firstcoastconnect@wjct.org.

And, from astronauts to playwrights to world-renowned oncologists, the Jacksonville Women’s Network’s Speakers Forum highlights women at the far reaches of professional accomplishment.
