What Should Democrats Focus On In The Upcoming Mid-Term Elections?
Larry takes listener calls about the Democratic focus in the upcoming mid-term elections.
Inland Empire Journalists Roundtable
Larry Mantle talks with Steven Cuevas, KPCC's Inland Empire reporter, Phil Willon, editor of the LA Times Inland Empire edition, and columnist, Cassie MacDuff, columnist with The Press Enterprise, about the latest news events and developments in the Inland Empire.
Blood Brothers
While embedded with soldiers from the 1st Armored Division in Baghdad, journalist Michael Weisskopf heard a thunk, saw a small, dark object near his feet, reached down, and took it in his hand. Weisskopf lost his hand in the explosion and was sent for treatment to Ward 57 at Walter Reed Medical Center where he met three soldiers whose stories he learned during months in the ward. Larry talks with Weisskopf about the devastation and recovery he, those three soldiers, and hundreds of other faced, which Weisskopf describes in his new book, Blood Brothers.
The Life And Legacy Of Jimmy Stewart
Jimmy Stewart was one of Hollywood's greatest and most enduring stars. Despite his screen image of innocence and quiet self-assurance, Stewart's life was more complex and sophisticated than most of the characters he played. Larry talks with Marc Eliot, author of a new biography of Stewart, which tells the story of one of our greatest screen, and real-life, heroes.
