Am listening to this archive and am left wondering why the show even bothers having any current gov. department talking heads? Their answers to pointed questions are so lame. Vague answers meandering only to the points THEY want to ponder on, which is usually what is important to their campaign rhetoric now. Total waste of an hour of everyone's time, for what are very important topics. They should be given the kind of attention they are due, with the kind of information, we the public, are used to receiving from NPR.
Pick the people who have really dug their heels into the efforts and know the history behind the movements like the back of their hand, not someone that sounds like they've just studied a history timeline right before the show. So much more worthwhile.
