Informants and Mormons

The Leonard Lopate Show | Apr 22, 2011

The New York Times says that the Broadway hit “The Book of Mormon” has a “heart as pure as a Rodgers and Hammerstein show.” On today’s show we’re joined by its two stars: Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells. We’ll look into the complex world of FBI confidential informants. Daniel Orozco talks about Orientation, his collection of short fiction. On our latest Backstory segment, we’ll discuss the Wikileaks Guantanamo documents with Carol Rosenberg of the Miami Herald. Plus, we’ll look at how evangelical Christians are trying to increase international adoptions.
