The Surprising Uses of Shame. A Dog's-Eyed View of Love, and Food.

The Leonard Lopate Show | Feb 12, 2015

First, this week's Please Explain is all about a common, but perhaps unfortunate feeling that can creep in around Valentine's Day: Shame. Then, director Patrick Osborne talks about his Oscar-nominated short, “Feast,” the story of one man’s love life as seen through the eyes of his best friend and dog, through the meals they share. 

Be sure to tune in after The Leonard Lopate Show to Real Love: A Valentine's Special from Death, Sex & Money.
