September 3rd Show
Well, in spite of the Labor Day holiday's tradition of this being a day of rest, we're hard at work getting the show ready for you. Today, John Donvan has graciously agreed to step in as our guest host. You may know him as a correspondent on ABC's "Nightline." I'm sure he'll do a great job today. (And we've promised to be kind.)
Today's first hour we'll ask the question, "Can you hold on to your memory?" and find out if vide games and online programs that are designed to improve your memory actually work. And how does memory loss differ from absent-mindedness? (Should I be concerned that I found my car keys in the fridge?) At the end of that hour, we'll speak with Ret. General Joseph Hoar on the opinion page. He argues that the United States needs to open its doors to more Iraqi refugees.
In our second hour, author Wendell Jamieson talks about his book, "Father Knows Less or: Can I Cook My Sister?" We'll talk about the baffling questions kids ask, and how much truth you should tell...if you actually KNOW the answer, of course. Has a kid ever stumped you? (And did you answer with a suggested game of catch?) Our second hour ends with a discussion about the upcoming sixth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11th, and the debate over how much tribute is enough.
Enjoy listening. And give that hamburger one more good turn for us!!
