We caught up with Mark Little and Ken O'Shea of Irish TV's "Primetime" -- a show that's a bit like our "Nightline" -- to see what interests them about the American elections, and what has surprised them about their reporting. Plus, a look at the effect of American portion sizes on Irish waistlines. You can listen directly -- no downloading needed -- by going ...

Donald Rumsfeld has resigned, to be replaced by Robert Gates. What's next for the War on Terror and U.S. national security? We talk to Jim Dunnigan, publisher of StrategyPage.com and author of numerous books on war, intelligence and security, and Austin Bay, who blogs at AustinBay.net, and who is the author of both novels and nonfiction works on war and military matters. They describe Rumsfeld's legacy of military reform an ...

Or is there more likely to be some sort of symbiosis? Lots of people wonder about that, and we took the opportunity to talk with Angela Diegel and David Dunbar from Popular Mechanics when they came to town. Diegel is the magazine's online director, while Dunbar is the Executive Editor. They say that print isn't dead, but that magazines that are going to make it will make much smarter use of the web -- and they relay their experience that ...

Dr. David Gratzer is the author of a new book, The Cure: How Capitalism Can Save American Health Care, and -- as the foreword by Milton Friedman might suggest -- he suggests a very different approach. Gratzer, a Canadian physician who has practiced in both the Canadian and American medical systems, looks at the flaws in both approach ...

Orson Scott Card's new novel Empire looks at whether and how those divisions might lead to an American civil war in the near future. It's a thriller novel, a la Tom Clancy, but it's also a cautionary tale. We talk with Card about the novel, about storytelling, about the political scene, and what Americans should be doing.

We talk with Dr. Eric Caine, head of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Rochester and a consultant to the President's Commission on Mental Health, about suicide and suicide prevention. Do antidepressant drugs raise the risks of suicide or lower them? What preventive steps work, and what should general medical practitioners, or concerned friends and family, do? Dr. Caine offers lots of answers, and inte ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website The Glenn and Helen Show: A Martha Stewart Christmas!

We interview law professor Joan Heminway about her book, Martha Stewart's Legal Troubles, which comes out next week. We're joined by Professor Ellen Podgor and talk not only about Martha Stewart's legal troubles, but about the Sarbanes-Oxley bill, white-collar crime, and the criminalization of nearly everything.

We talk to the Manhattan Institute's Kay Hymowitz about her book, Marriage and Caste in America: Separate and Unequal Families in a Post-Marital Age. Hymowitz talks about the role of marriage in childrearing, wealth accumulation, and more -- and how the unequal popularity of marriage is making the rich richer and the poor poorer. It's interesting stuff, though I remain unpersuaded that gay marriage is any threat, and remain unclear on how that fits with the ...

In this interview, he responds to a controversial YouTube video about his positions on abortion and other social issues, and talks about the war, gun rights, health care, research and development, and the role of the blogosphere in the 2008 election, among other things. That's kind of cool, using a podcast to respond to a YouTube interview. All new media, all the time! I was going to hold this until to ...

But there's one bright spot: The Wall Street Journal's publisher Gordon Crovitz, who describes himself as "the last person in the country with 'newspaper publisher' in his title who nonetheless is an optimist." We'll talk about why he's optimistic, about how the Wall Street Journal's online edition came to be the fourth biggest newspaper in the country -- bigger than the Washington Post or ...

Unless you've been living in a cave in Waziristan, you've heard his songs like 100 Years, Superman, and The Riddle. But the title cut to his latest album, Two Lights, turns out to come from a lunch with none other than blogosphere fave Victor Davis Hanson. (There are some streamable samples at the link, too.) We talk to Ondrasik about politics in the music business, what drives his songwriting, what aspiring musicians should do to make it, and more - ...

We contacted the blogosphere's man-on-the-spot in Baghdad, Michael Yon, by satellite phone, and got his take on how things are going. Some important bits: The dispersal of troops out of big bases and into Iraqi neighborhoods has had a big impact -- somewhat like the "community policing" approach in New York and elsewhere -- and is generating a lot more intelligence and assistance from ordinary I ...
