Jan 29, 2012 7:00 pm	Healing Arts, Healing Hearts From "A World of Possibilities": At a time of increasing turmoil and despair, artist Lily Yeh takes her work out of the white-walled galleries of high culture and into the streets and hearts of those most traumatized and marginalized by modern life. In this documentary, she describes her most recent work with the children of migrant families at the Dandelion School in Beijing.
Jan 22, 2012 7:00 pm	Studs Terkel: A Heart as Big as the World From "A World of Possibilities": Despite his best efforts, like the very establishments he excoriates, Studs has become an American institution. A man of the people, he is also an unapologetic liberal and intellectual in a country that respects neither. In this program, drawn from a nonstop three-hour conversation, Studs reflects on a life spent listening to the battered but unbowed spirit of ordinary and extraordinary Americans.
Jan 15, 2012 7:00 pm	Geektopia: Google’s Innovation Culture From "A World of Possibilities": Even in hard times, the search engine giant Google continues to boom while GM struggles. Is this another dot-com fantasy or could this culture of innovation, informality and antic spirit be a harbinger of the next economy? We take a tour of the Googleplex in Mountain View, California, and sit down with Alfred Spector for an intriguing conversation about how to grow a culture of innovation.
Jan 8, 2012 7:00 pm	Riding the Tiger: Asia Ascending From "A World of Possibilities": Asia’s high-octane economies, though impacted by the global recession, are on a long-term trajectory to expand their influence. Their energy and determination are challenging the economic supremacy of the United States not only in the region but wherever key natural resources are in play. China alone holds the commanding share of U.S. debt in a complex relationship that yokes the two economic titans together in a tense, unpredictable partnership. President Obama says the U.S.-Chinese dynamic is "as important as any bilateral relationship in the world." Is it a zero sum game where either they or “we” prevail or can it be reframed as a quest for shared prosperity?

Nov 20, 2011 7:00 pm	Election 2012: Voters and Foreign Policy Just a few months before the first primary votes are cast, foreign policy and national security issues have received surprisingly little attention on the campaign trail. With voters feeling the pinch of the recession and worrying unemployment rates on the horizon, the economy tops the public’s list of the most important issues facing the country today. So when it comes to foreign policy - do voters care? This hour we hear from Americans about their attitudes toward foreign policy, what issues are a priority for them, and what they’re looking for in the next commander in chief.
Nov 13, 2011 7:00 pm	RadioLab: Zoos In a cruel trick of evolution, humans can stand just three feet from a ferocious animal and still be perfectly safe. Radiolab goes to the zoo to ask what’s with our need to get close to "wildness"? We examine where we stand in this paradox -- starting with the Romans, and ending in the wilds of Belize, staring into the eyes of a wild jaguar.
Nov 6, 2011 7:00 pm	RadioLab: Stress Stress may save your life if you’re being chased by a tiger. But if you’re stuck in traffic, it may be more likely to make you sick. Join Radiolab for a look at the body’s system for getting out of trouble. Dr. Robert Sapolsky takes us through what happens on our insides when we stand in the wrong line at the supermarket, and offers a few coping strategies: gnawing on wood, fighting, and having friends. Plus: the story of a singer who lost her voice, and an author stuck in a body that never grew up.
Oct 30, 2011 7:00 pm	RadioLab: (So-Called) Life Radiolab asks what is natural in a world where biology and engineering intersect. Biotechnology is making it easier and easier to create new forms of life, but what are the consequences when humans play with life? We travel back to the first billion years of life on Earth, take a look at how modern engineers tinker with living things, and meet a woman who could have been two people.
Oct 23, 2011 7:00 pm	RadioLab: Where Am I? OK, maybe you’re in your desk chair. You’re in your office. You’re in New York, or Detroit, or Timbuktu. You’re on planet Earth. But where are you, really? Radiolab examines the bond between brain and body, and looks at what happens when it breaks. Author and neurologist Oliver Sacks tries to find himself using magnets, we talk to a neuroscientist who uses an optical illusion to solve a century-old mystery that haunts some amputees, and pilots describe surviving out-of-body experiences while flying fighter jets.
Oct 16, 2011 7:00 pm	Joined By War: A Decade of Conflict in Afghanistan Nearly ten years after the US invasion of Afghanistan, one of the longest wars in US history has taken its toll on Afghans and Americans alike. Thousands of lives have been lost, and millions of lives have been touched. On the anniversary of September 11th, and with the US troop drawdown in Afghanistan underway, America Abroad Media, WAMU 88.5 FM, and Radio Killid Afghanistan bring together an American audience in Washington and an Afghan audience in Kabul for a candid conversation between Afghans and Americans about the impact of ten years of war.
Oct 9, 2011 7:00 pm	Counterfeit Crackdown From "America Abroad": Despite companies’ efforts to fight forgery, bogus Gucci bags seem as plentiful as ever. And today, counterfeiters are also ripping off drugs, car parts, and electronics that not only cost jobs, but also lives. It’s not just US corporations feeling the pinch: in the developing world, counterfeit goods are killing local industries and hindering economic growth. But not everyone agrees on how far enforcement measures should go and what they can accomplish.
Oct 2, 2011 7:00 pm	Dreamjobs 2011: Outside The Cubicle From Engineers of the New Millennium
Sep 25, 2011 7:00 pm	Don’t Lecture Me: Rethinking the Way College Students Learn In an increasingly competitive global economy the best jobs go to highly skilled workers who can learn fast. Are today’s college graduates up to the challenge? Many experts say no. In this program, American RadioWorks producer Emily Hanford explores how traditional approaches to teaching are failing to provide many college students with the knowledge they need. We hear the unexpected story of how a group of physicists became concerned about what their students were learning, and how their work is influencing a new generation trying to reinvent college so that students really learn.
Sep 18, 2011 7:00 pm	Who Needs an English Major? The Future of Liberal Arts Education The most popular college major in America these days is business. Some students think it doesn’t pay to study philosophy or history. But advocates of liberal-arts programs advocates say their graduates are still among the most likely to become leaders, and that a healthy democracy depends on citizens with a broad and deep education. In this program, American RadioWorks’ Stephen Smith examines how a form of higher learning unique to the United States is responding to the demands of the 21st century.
Sep 11, 2011 7:00 pm On the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, filmmaker Ken Burns explores the history and legacy of freedom of religion. Photo credit: Stephanie Berger	The Meaning of America From "Humankind": The September 11, 2001 attacks were directed by fundamentalists whose philosophy was deeply at odds with the religious tolerance espoused by America’s founders and designed into the Constitution they wrote. But what was America’s freedom of religion (or freedom to be non-religious) intended to make possible? What kind of self-reflection did the Founders hope for our citizens? And to what extent has today’s noisy, material-driven American culture lived up to the promise envisioned by our high-minded founders?
Sep 4, 2011 7:00 pm	Some College, No Degree: Why So Many Americans Drop Out of College, and What to Do About It Everyone knows there’s a high school dropout problem in the United States, but the college dropout rate is worse. Nearly a quarter of American adults started college but didn’t finish - about 37 million people. Now they’re being left behind in an economy increasingly focused on workers with degrees. American RadioWorks producer Emily Hanford examines why so many people start college but don’t graduate, what’s being done to bring them back, and whether a college degree is the answer for everyone.
Aug 28, 2011 7:00 pm	International Trade: Free, Fixed, or Fair From A World of Possibilities: In the view of its proponents, free trade as promoted by the United States and other leading industrial powers is the swiftest and surest route to global economic development. But from the perspective of many in the developing world, it is the most effective means of extracting natural resources, exploiting low-wage labor, and producing goods from the world’s poor at the lowest cost while earning value for those who already have more than enough. In response to these critiques, a market-based fair trade movement has sprung up in recent years from international development aid, social, religious and environmental organizations seeking to establish a more level playing field for international commerce. Though still a tiny fraction of global trade, in some commodities it represents 20-50% of the total volume. Criticized from the right as a subsidy that constrains free trade and from the left as too timid a response to the inherent inequities of the global trading system, fair trade is still in its infancy but growing by more than 20% a year. In this program we hear about the challenges of growing the movement from the founder of a leading fair trade certification organization and a farmer whose products are fair trade-certified.
Aug 21, 2011 7:00 pm	Share Values or Shared Values: Rethinking Priorities From A World of Possibilities: Hard economic times aren’t good for much, but they do get us thinking. As we sort through the wreckage of our private dreams, we ask ourselves how we could have done it differently - and how, given the chance, we might create an economy more equitable and reliable than the last one.
Aug 14, 2011 7:00 pm	Crosswinds: A Community Wind Farm Divides an Island From A World of Possibilities: When residents of an isolated island off the coast of Maine found their utility bills rising to three times what mainlanders paid, their local energy cooperative turned to wind as a clean and affordable energy alternative. It seemed like the perfect solution, but residents now find themselves bitterly divided over noise. Wind advocates are asking what needs to be done to deal with the downsides of what has long been viewed as a benign source of renewable energy.
Aug 7, 2011 7:00 pm	Slow Money: Reducing Velocity, Increasing Value From A World of Possibilities: Each day, billions of shares flash through stock markets worldwide. Fortunes are made and lost at the flick of a keystroke, wreaking havoc on millions of people far from the trading floor. Meanwhile, both value and values are wantonly destroyed. We’ll hear from two pioneering economists, one of them a Nobel Prize winner, who seek to slow the pace of business in order to reclaim value and values.
Jul 31, 2011 7:00 pm	"Bot, Will You Be My Friend?" From A World of Possibilities: Is your best friend a bot or a Facebook pal? How much time do you spend in online interaction with digital beings and how much face-to-face with real ones? MIT professor Sherry Turkle, author of Alone Together, poses penetrating questions about the dangers of embracing our human inventions as if they were themselves human. Why do we turn to the simulation of intimacy in place of the stimulation of real contact? Are we afraid of the complications of real relationships, the melodramas of misunderstanding, the heartbreaks and infidelities? In this program we probe the migration of human affections from people to machines and the trade-offs that entails.
Jul 24, 2011 7:00 pm	Hungry Harvesters: Migrant Labor and the Poverty That Produces Our Plenty From A World of Possibilities: Plenty for some. Poverty for others. On today’s industrial farms, field workers harvest crops that they themselves can’t afford to buy. Join us as we ask how much we’re willing to pay for our food to assure that those who fill our plates are paid enough to eat what they harvest.
Jul 17, 2011 7:00 pm	European Dis-Union From American Abroad: First the Greek debt crisis, then the luck of the Irish ran out. And, Greece is in turmoil again and looking for more help. A hesitant and controversial response to economic calamity over the last year highlighted deep divisions between the EU’s 27 members, and raised the question of whether the drive to integrate Europe may be stalling out.
Jul 10, 2011 7:00 pm	State of the Reunion: Appalachia Rising An exploration of the misguided portrayal of the rural Appalachian region as a place of victims - a people at the mercy of the region’s poverty or bigotry. We travel to southern West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky to examine how residents are balancing deep ties to their history while facing the future in a new way.
Jul 3, 2011 7:00 pm	Borrowed Times: A History of the National Debt The BackStory History Guys explore why debt has continued to be so controversial in a nation that was founded on borrowing. Alexander Hamilton famously wrote that "a national debt...will be to us a national blessing." Why did he think so, and have there been other times in American history when debt was seen as a good thing?
Jun 26, 2011 7:00 pm Photo: Dan Saelinger	The Water/Energy Crunch Humans are thirsty creatures who need water to drink and bathe, but also to produce most forms of energy. No water, no energy, and nothing goes on. Literally. How we resolve the competition between water and energy needs is a defining issue of this century.
Jun 19, 2011 7:00 pm	Roots of the Arab Spring Unemployment and anemic economies were fire-starters in the demonstrations that spread across the Arab word earlier this year. And while the Arab Spring may have toppled regimes, bread and butter issues continue to plague the region. Democracy alone won't be enough to deal with a simple demographic Achilles' heel -- nearly a quarter of Arabs under 30 are jobless. America Abroad speaks to Arab youth searching for work in Yemen and travels to Morocco to hear from young people who've postponed marriage until they can save their Dirhams.
Jun 12, 2011 7:00 pm	RadioLab: "Desperately Seeking Symmetry" This hour of Radiolab, Jad and Robert set out in search of order and balance in the world around us, and ask how symmetry shapes our very existence - from the origins of the universe, to what we see when we look in the mirror. Along the way, we look for love in ancient Greece, head to modern-day Princeton to peer inside our brains, and turn up an unlikely headline from the Oval Office circa 1979.
Jun 5, 2011 7:00 pm	RadioLab: "The Soul Patch" In this episode of Radiolab, stories of unlikely (and surprisingly simple) answers to seemingly unsolvable problems. We get to know a man who struggles, and mostly fails, to contain his violent outbursts - until he meets a bird who can keep him in check. Then, Oliver Sacks and Chuck Close, who are both face-blind, share workarounds that help them figure out who they're talking to. And a senior center stumbles upon an unexpected way to help Alzheimer's patients: by building a bus stop.
May 29, 2011 7:00 pm	RadioLab: "Help!" What do you do when your own worst enemy is... you? This hour, RadioLab looks for ways to gain the upper hand over those forces inside us - from unhealthy urges, to creative insights - that seem to have minds of their own. We meet a Cold War negotiator who, in order to quit smoking, backs himself into a tactical corner, and we visit a clinic in Russia where patients turn to a radical treatment to help fight their demons. Plus, Elizabeth Gilbert on doing battle with your muses.
May 22, 2011 7:00 pm	RadioLab: "Lost and Found" In this episode, RadioLab steers its way through a series of stories about getting lost, and asks how our brains, and our hearts, help us get home. We meet a woman who has spent her entire life getting lost, and go to a military base in New Jersey to learn about some amazing feats of navigational wizardry. Finally, we turn to a very different kind of lost and found: a love story about running into a terrifying, and unexpected, fork in the road.
May 15, 2011 7:00 pm	RadioLab: The "Good" Show In this episode of RadioLab: A question that haunted Darwin. If natural selection boils down to survival of the fittest, why would one creature stick its neck out to help another? Is altruism an aberration, or just an elaborate guise for sneaky self-interest? Do we really live in a selfish, dog-eat-dog world? Or has evolution carved out a hidden code that rewards genuine cooperation?
May 8, 2011 7:00 pm	Joined By War: Women's Rights in Today's Afghanistan For nearly a decade, Americans and Afghans have been joined by conflict. In the first years of the war, images of a "liberated" Afghanistan with gleaming new girls' schools were a heartening change from the years of Taliban brutality. Yet local laws have again become more conservative. And with talk of reconciliation with the Taliban, some wonder: Do women's rights in Afghanistan still matter? In this special town hall conversation, Afghan and American audiences discuss their hopes for justice and women's rights in Afghanistan.
May 1, 2011 7:00 pm	Passengers (part two) Public transit faces an uphill battle. In many systems, the recession has inflicted both service reductions and fare increases. In Chicago, for example, nearly 20% of service was cut in 2010, yet ridership declined less than 1%. Many people depend on buses and trains. A third of us, including low-income and elderly Americans, lack access to a car. Will federal aid come to the rescue, or will transit be trimmed further in budgetary belt-tightening? What should be the split between funding for highways and for transit services? Congress is expected to weigh in this year. Does transit contribute to job creation? What are the consequences for climate change, in which transportation is a major factor? And how might auto-centric cities adapt?
Apr 24, 2011 7:00 pm	Passengers (part one) Our love affair with the car has dramatically shaped the American landscape. But along with personal mobility, we endure high gas prices, lengthy stop-and-go commutes, urban sprawl, smog and greenhouse emissions. Join David Freudberg and Humankind for the first in a special two-part series.
Apr 17, 2011 7:00 pm	The Civil War at 150: Questions Remain Tens of thousands of books have been written on the subject - but what makes the Civil War relevant to us today, in 2011?
Apr 10, 2011 7:00 pm	The Civil War at 150: Why They Fought In the second episode of BackStory's "Civil War 150th" series, the American History Guys look at what motivated Northerners and Southerners to go to war with one another in 1861. It's widely agreed that slavery triggered the war, but if most Southerners didn't own any slaves, and most Northerners were not abolitionists, then what really fueled the conflict? Did people's motivations to fight change over the course of the war?
Apr 3, 2011 7:00 pm	The Civil War at 150: The Road to Civil War In hindsight, it's easy to see the Civil War as a conflict just waiting to happen. But to Americans in the spring of 1861, disunion was anything but inevitable. Even among those who expected war, few imagined the scale of devastation that was just around the corner. Taking as a starting point this uncertainty about the future, this episode takes an in-depth look at the dramatic six months between Abraham Lincoln's election and the outbreak of war.
Mar 27, 2011 7:00 pm	Power and Smoke: A Nation Built on Coal Why do Americans contribute more heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere than Europeans with similar standards of living? One reason is our dependence on cars, but another, less-talked-about reason is coal. Americans rely on coal for nearly half our electricity. Electrical generation pumps out more greenhouse gases than the entire transportation sector -- cars, trucks, planes, and ships -- combined. A new American RadioWorks documentary goes back to the roots of our addiction to coal, and shows how our fuel choices changed American culture and history.
Mar 20, 2011 7:00 pm	Alms in the Name of Allah Tsunamis, earthquakes, floods. Islamic aid groups were quickly on the scene in Indonesia and Pakistan to provide disaster relief. Muslim NGOs have long aided their spiritual brothers, and are now playing a larger role on the global humanitarian stage. But since 9/11, there has been a growing fear that Muslim charities are providing support to Islamic extremists along with succor for the poor. We explore the growth of Muslim aid organizations across the globe, and examine the care they provide and the concerns they raise.
Mar 13, 2011 7:00 pm Is it possible that a union, that is not past the point of no return, could start unraveling?	European Disunion First the Greek Debt Crisis, then the luck of the Irish ran out, and now financial markets anxiously wait to see if Portugal or Spain is next. The downturn of 2010 went beyond financial calamity. A hesitant and controversial response to economic crisis highlighted deep divisions between the European Union's 27 members, and raised the question of whether the drive to integrate Europe may be stalling out.
Mar 6, 2011 7:00 pm	Joined by War: A Conversation Between Afghans and Americans For most people, the bombs and bloodshed seem a world away, but for Afghans and American soldiers and civilians, the conflict is a daily reality. America Abroad Media, WAMU 88.5 FM , and Radio Killid Afghanistan brought together an American audience in Washington and an Afghan audience in Kabul for a candid conversation between Afghans and Americans. The participants talked about life in the battlefield, about how their lives have changed over the last ten years, and what they want today from the US and their own government.
Feb 27, 2011 7:00 pm	The Autobiography of Malcolm X When Malcolm X was assassinated at 39, his book nearly died with him. Today, the work - a favorite of President Obama and Justice Clarence Thomas alike - stands as a milestone in America's struggle with race. The Autobiography is also a Horatio Alger tale, following a man's journey from poverty to crime to militancy to wisdom. A Black Panther wannabe learns the book is mightier than the gun; a tea party activist claims Malcolm for the Right; Public Enemy's Chuck D tells us, "This book is like food. It ain't McDonalds -- it's sit down at the table and say grace."
Feb 20, 2011 7:00 pm	Black & White: The Idea of “Racial Purity” On this episode of BackStory, the History Guys look for the roots of America's obsession with race, and ask why the line between black and white has remained so bold despite centuries of racial mixing. Were the categories of "black" and "white" already in place when Africans first came to America, and if not, when did they take shape? How did the founders think about race, and what are we to make of the contradictions between the public writings of men like Jefferson and their behavior in private? In what ways have religion and science affirmed and challenged notions of racial difference?
Feb 13, 2011 7:00 pm	Back of the Bus: Mass Transit, Race and Inequality Equal access to transportation was once a central issue of the Civil Rights Movement. Many African American communities were weakened or nearly destroyed by highways built in the 1960s. And today, disparities still persist - for example, as bus service to poor neighborhoods is cut in favor of more expensive rail. American RadioWorks visits communities across America to find out why people of color still struggle for equal treatment in public transportation.
Feb 6, 2011 7:00 pm	Maya Angelou's Black History Month Special Maya Angelou celebrates Black History Month in this one-hour special with discussions on film, the meanings behind African American comedy, and stories from her childhood, civil rights and poetry.
Jan 30, 2011 7:00 pm	Starting Out Right: Upgrading Early Childhood Education We’re just now finding out that the first few years of life do much to determine how the rest of it unfolds. That’s a scary thought. For those who enjoy the good fortune of being born into affluence, no effort is spared to provide them with the advantages of high-priced childcare, private tutors, and diverse opportunities. But for a great many less advantaged kids and their struggling parents, the options are far more limited. They face a gauntlet of hurdles with few resources to overcome them. Failing early, they come to believe success is not even possible. They, and we, all suffer the consequences.
Jan 23, 2011 7:00 pm	RadioLab: "Fate and Fortune" What decides the trajectory of our lives, our successes or failures, our steps and stumbles? Do we achieve what we achieve through force of will, or does fate have us by throat? This hour, Radiolab explores the tug of war between will and fate from birth to death¿from a kid reaching for a marshmallow to hints of dementia in the words of a 20 year old.
Jan 16, 2011 7:00 pm	RadioLab: "Cities" One tidy mathematical formula may hold the key to what drives a city -from how many patents it's likely to produce, to how many murders are likely to occur. Yet math can't explain most of the human-scale details that make urban life unique. This hour of Radiolab, we take to the streets in search of what makes cities tick.
Jan 9, 2011 7:00 pm	Dave Brubeck; Legacy of a Legend For well over 60 years, pianist Dave Brubeck has been creating a sound that combines what he hears in the world around him with experimentation, playfulness and a lot of serious musicianship. You'll hear stories and insights about the music from Brubeck himself, as well as from collaborators Eugene Wright, Bobby Militello and Russell Glyod.
Jan 2, 2011 7:00 pm	Splitting Sudan Sudan has been independent for 54 years, and has spent 38 of those years fighting a civil war that's left more than 2 million dead. A peace deal in 2005 stopped the fighting, and guaranteed south Sudan a vote for self-determination in January 2011. But as that vote nears, the potential for renewed fighting looms. Is a weak and fractured south Sudan ready to stand on its own?

Nov 14, 2010 7:00 pm	Coming Home: A History of War Veterans Most news coverage of America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan focuses on troop movements, suicide bombings, and geopolitical developments. Only rarely do we hear the stories of the individual armed service members stationed there, and hardly ever do we hear what it's like for them when they return home. On this special episode of BackStory, the History Guys ask: Has it always been thus? How have veterans been treated in the aftermath of America's previous wars? Are vets only as popular as the wars they've fought in?
Nov 7, 2010 7:00 pm Farai Chideya	Pop + Politics with Farai Chideya Episode 3 - The New Map: America, Redrawn and Reconceived Chideya and guests will analyze the new political map coming out of the midterm elections.
