At 4:30 MST Joanna Brooks who maintains the blog Ask Mormon Girl Her article “How Mormonism Built Glenn Beck” was picked up by Alternet and the New York Times

Glenn Beck leans forward on his elbows. His voice hushes. His eyes grow red at the corners. He presses his lips together and clears his throat. He cannot speak. The tears fall, and just for a moment the brashest voice in American conservatism today falls silent. This is what happens when Beck tells the story of his 1999 conversion to Mormonism. “I was friendless, working in the smallest radio market I had ever worked in… a hopeless alcoholic, abusing drugs every day,” Beck said in an interview taped last fall. “I was trying to find a job and nobody would hire me… couldn’t get an agent to represent me.”

At 5:30 MST Rick Posner author of “Lives of Passion, School of Hope” Lives of Passion, School of Hope tells how a progressive public school in Colorado has transformed the lives of its alumni. It is about what happens to children and adults when they are encouraged to follow their bliss. It is also about personal empowerment and the development of confidence, curiosity, and compassion in our public schools. This book offers stories and reflections from the alumni of a school where the students hired the teachers, ran their own government, evaluated their own progress, and designed their own curriculum. It’s the story of an extended family of students, staff, and parents who have formed their own community of learners over the course of thirty-eight years.

We also spoke with Sophie Grig campaigner for Survival International regarding their amazing work with the Jarawa tribes of the Andaman Islands
