Mon. 8/20/12 | Politics, As Usual; Marketplace Check-in; Fixing Boston's Traffic Problem

In the first hour of today's show, guest host Kara Miller fills in for politics, as usual with Jeffrey Barry and Stonehill College's Peter Ubertaccio. Then we check in with Marketplace Money's Tess Vigeland about the ways in which foreclosures affect communities beyond just the financial ramifications. Then the Boston Globe's Derrick Jackson joins us to discuss Boston's traffic problem — and how we can fix it.
