We’ll talk with Molly Melching, who went to Senegal as an exchange student and has stayed for almost 40 years, trying to improve the lives of women and girls there. Rick Atkinson talks about the conclusion of his monumental Liberation Trilogy, The Guns at Last Light, which chronicles the fight in Europe from D-Day to VE Day. Plus, the story of six college friends who turned their weekly poker game into a billion-dollar online gaming empire. And we’ll take a look at Amazon’s fight not to charge its customers state sales tax.

#3474: New Releases, May 2013
It's that time of the month again for the new releases show on New Sounds. John Schaefer carefully separates the wheat from the chaff for this show. He'll sort through the stacks of new CDs, the strange Soundcloud free-associations, and the highly anticipated digital submissions which have come across his desk and into his inbox over the past month to present some of the finest new releases. He'll skim off the cream. He'll pick the lentils from the ashes. You get it.
