Emily, I VERY much enjoyed listening to your interview with author Thomas Frank this afternoon! His energy and enthusiasm and, yes, the fact that hes clearly an intelligent, liberal thinker! were right up my alley. I was headed out the door, keys in hand, but I put everything on hold as soon as I heard the topic and sensed that this interview was going to be something worth hearingand without driving distractions. Wish I could get away to his Brattle Theatre discussion tonight, but Ill try to get his new book on my Kindle. Thanks again for a terrific interview!

I tried listening to the "teaching healthcare reform through comics" episode but it was mislabeled! Id love to hear that episode. Can you fix that and have it available?
Teaching Health Care Reform Through Comics
Health Care Reform may not be a laughing matter, but that doesn’t mean it can’t have its own comic book. MIT economist Jonathan Gruber - who helped craft President Obama’s national health-care overhaul - is here to discuss how he’s broken the complex plan down in a graphic work of non-fiction.
Guest:
Jonathan Gruber, professor of economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with a focus on the areas of public finance and health economics. The Washington Post has called him, “possibly the [Democratic] party's most influential health-care expert.” Author of Health Care Reform: What It Is, Why It's Necessary, How It Works
