Hosted by Barrett Golding, featuring: "Claremont" by Larry Massett, Art Silverman and Betty Rogers- You might not recall the names of all the 1980 presidential prospects: like California Governor Jerry Brown, Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee, Illinois Representative John Anderson, but the story is still familiar; a classic political tale told by David Puksta, a high-school student in the small mill town of Claremont, New Hampshire. "Political People" by Barrett Golding, with songs by Greg Keeler- When so many people couldn't care less about politics, why do some people care so much. "Democracy and Things Like That" by Sarah Vowell, produced by Alex Blumberg & Ira Glass of This American Life- During the 2000 primaries, the lesson Sarah learned, while sitting in a New Hampshire classroom, was to Pay Attention. "California Recall Sans Mots" by Larry Massett- From the 2003 gubernatorial candidates, the California Recall Project presents the first political debate stripped of all the unclear, misleading elements: that is, minus the words.
