January 1st Show
Hello 2008! Here's what's happening on our first show of the new year!!!
In our first hour, we will talk to several of our colleagues at NPR about the people we lost in 2007 who made significant contributions, but didn't get the attention they deserved. We'd also like to hear from you. Was there someone who you knew or knew of that made a difference? Call into our program or send us an email. You can also tell us about them on the blog. At the end of the hour, we will read a few more of your emails and blog comments about the best quotes of 2007.
January 1st. A new year. A clean slate. Time to convince yourself that THIS year's resolutions will stick. Really this time! Most of the "must-dos" on your list are no doubt of the self-improvement variety. And there is certainly no shortage of experts who claim they can help. Two years ago, Beth Lisick gave new meaning to the term "self-help" and spent the next year determined to improve every aspect of her life. Her journey has turned into a book entitled, Helping Me Help Myself: One Skeptic, Ten Self-Help Gurus, and a Year on the Brink of the Comfort Zone. In our second hour she will tell us whether or not some of the more popular self-help gurus really do help. At the end of the hour, we'll continue our "next big thing in 2008" series with a look at baseball with author and New York Times columnist Alan Schwarz.
