Open Phones: Is Your Faith in The New York Times Shaken by the Jayson Blair Deception Scandal?; How Philosophy Can Change Your Life
Open Phones: Is Your Faith in The New York Times Shaken by the Jayson Blair Deception Scandal?
Larry Mantle takes calls from listeners about the fallout from the scandal which has plagued the New York Times since it was discovered that staff reporter Jayson Blair had, for a period of almost four years, committed journalistic fraud on a scale never before seen by the paper. The Times is now going through intensive soul-searching to understand how such deception was possible and why the reporter's misdeeds were allowed to proliferate unchecked by his editors and the paper's management.
How Philosophy Can Change Your Life
Lou Marinoff, City College of New York professor of philosophy and author of the international bestseller Plato, Not Prozac!, joins Larry to discuss The Big Questions, How Philosophy Can Change Your Life (Bloomsbury). His new book continues to explore how to tackle some of life's biggest questions, using answers contained in philosophy rather than psychotherapy or religion.
