Consider the Alternatives

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Academy Award winner Shirley MacLaine presents her latest memoir on getting older and wiser through alternative healing. And husband and wife filmmakers focus on the lives of Uganda's child refugees. Also, members of Berlin's Nomad SoundSystem describe the unique blend of global influences that shapes their music. But first, Washington State Congressman Jay Inslee and Bracken Hendricks make their case for a clean energy future.

The Leonard Lopate Show is hosting a new Thanksgiving cartoon contest, Cartoon Cornucopia! Check it out and be sure to submit your original cartoon by Wednesday, November 14 at noon.
