Dick speaks with Dr. Timothy Lepore, the colorful, contrarian physician on the world-famous island of Nantucket. He's surgeon, medical examiner, football team doctor, accidental homicide detective and more.
Dick Gordon speaks with Fawzia Suayah as she walks the streets of Libya and talks about her joy over the changes in her country. Dick also talks with Sherif El Magrabe, a Libyan teenager, who is thinking about what revolution means for his generation. Ismail Suayah, Fawzia’s brother and Sherif’s uncle, joins the conversation.
Today as part of our education series, we check-in with the Banks family: 13-year-old Teara and her parents, Teresa and Darnell. We spoke with her and her family early this summer about the challenges of being homeless and living out of their mini-van. The family eventually found an apartment. But now, just as school has started again, the family can't make rent and has to move. Dick talks with Teara and her parents about what it will take to keep Teara and her three siblings in their schools.
