Labor Day Lounging

Wikimedia

The Exchange crew does what many other people do on Labor Day: not work.  So we cued up recordings of some favorites from the past.

At 8: Kevin Smokler takes us back to school to pick up the books we SHOULD have read.  His book is Practical Classics, a look back at 50 major books and their lingering influence on the world.  

At 9: a quiet moment in a laboratory turns into an earth-shaking discovery, leading to a drug for one particular kind of cancer.  Jessica Wapner wrote The Philadelphia Chromosome.  The Exchange returns brand-new on Tuesday, September 6.
