The Golden Ages

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Chemist and industrial hygienist Monona Rossol looks at the many new chemicals that are being put into everyday products and the potentially negative effects some could have on our health. Also, I’ll speak with a curator at the Paley Center for Media for a preview of a new Criterion DVD collection called "The Golden Age of Television." Then, we’ll speak with two critics who argue that we are living in a new "Golden Age" of television now! Plus, our latest Underreported segments look at Greece’s debt crisis and the explosion of private contractors in Afghanistan.
