Today on the Radio: September 2, 2009
Recommended: We’ll be listening to the Sheila Bair interview on Rehm and after reading David Wessel’s book, In Fed We Trust, we’ll hope that the interview is probing and not fawning. We keep falling for Fresh Air’s “Animal Week” gimmick – yeah, they’re reruns, but the interviews are really interesting. We’ll listen again to the chat with Melinda Merck about pet forensics. And, yeah, the Political Junkie.
Diane Rehm: FDIC Chair Sheila Bair and regulatory reform. Hour 2: Helen Scales, author of Poseidon’s Steed.
On Point: The CIA vs. the Justice Department. Hour 2: Women and alcohol abuse.
Fresh Air: “Animal Week” continues with a pioneer in the field of veterinary forensics who investigates cases of animal cruelty.
Talk of the Nation: The Political Junkie.
Tell Me More: How do school administrators match-up students in dorms?
The Story: Dick Gordon talks with a Mexican journalist who used to report on the drug war there. Luis Najera fled to Canada after a colleague was killed and he himself he received a death threat.
To the Point: President Obama’s commanding general says “success” means winning the hearts and minds of the Afghan people. Will that require a new “troop surge?”
