In Our Midst

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
On today’s Underreported, we turn our attention to the Midwest, and ask why it gets so little national coverage. Then, former supermodel Paulina Porizkova tells us about her debut novel. And Barbara Kingsolver explains what her family learned by eating only locally-grown food for a year. Plus, Colm Meaney and Eve Best discuss their roles in the Broadway revival of Eugene O’Neill’s A Moon for the Misbegotten.
