April 17th Show
In the year since Seung-Hui Cho opened fire at Virginia Tech and killed thirty-two students and faculty members before turning the gun on himself, colleges across the country have sought to bolster their counseling departments and health services in an attempt to identify troubled students before they do harm to themselves or others. Gregory Eells, the director of counseling and psychological services at Cornell University, will talk about his school's unique risk assessment services, how they are working, and what happens when a professor notices a "red flag" in a student's behavior. At the end of the first hour, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock talks about going on the hunt in several middle east countries for his latest documentary Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?
Journalist Misha Glenny will be our guest in the second hour. He has written a new book entitled, McMafia: A Journey Through The Global Criminal Underworld in which Glenny outlines that while globalization may have given the world new opportunities for trade and investments, it also gave rise to a global black market, and made it easier for criminal networks to do business. Following that, we'll talk to two women who are faaaar from vertically challenged and find out what it's really like to be a woman over six feet tall.
