So it's time for our weekly mega-sized edition of the Political Junkie. NPR political editor Ken Rudin will be here with another trivia question, and to talk about the countdown to the Iowa caucauses with Des Moines Register political columnist David Yepsen. The Register also came out with their endorsements, and he'll fill us in. Later in the first hour, we'll talk to FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein about the commission's vote yesterday to relax a 32-year-old ban and allow broadcasters in the nation's twenty largest media markets to also own a newspaper.
In our second hour, we'll talk to Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of the phenomenally successful book, "Eat, Pray, Love." In her memoir, Gilbert writes openly about how a heartbreaking divorce in her mid-30s led to a transformative journey through Italy, India and Bali, Indonesia.... and ultimately the discovery of herself. At the end of the hour, author and The New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell talks about his recent article where he delves into the controversy that surrounds race, intelligence and I.Q. tests.
