March 27th Show
In our first hour today, we'll talk to guests and to YOU about that "a-ha!" moment when you realized exactly what your political views are. We want to hear about the people or experiences that helped shape those beliefs. Was it a family member who triggered your lightbulb moment? Or a stint as student body president? Maybe it was a contentious debate with a friend with an opposing view. What happened in your life that determined your political views? Tell us your story. We'll spend part of the hour talking to the head of NPR's "Get My Vote" online project that gives people a platform to share their personal stories about how their core political beliefs were formed. At the end of the hour, NPR's David Folkenflik will talk about an internal investigation at The Los Angeles Times over an article that linked associates of Sean "Diddy" Combs to the 1994 attack on rapper Tupac Shakur. New evidence has revealed that details in the report were partially based on false documents.
In our second hour we will be joined by Aaron David Miller, a former U.S. Middle East negotiator. Miller's new non-fiction book, The Much Too Promised land, America's Elusive Search for Arab Israeli Peace, goes inside the workings of the Middle East conflict. Miller will explain why he believes that peace in the region is possible. Stay tuned for the topic of discussion for the end of the hour. We're working on it!!!
