Transcript
When we move into the house of our dreams, most of us don't think about how we'll get around it when we're older. Yet experts say many homes in our region are poorly adapted to the needs of a graying population. We look at a new report assessing the quality of housing for older residents and other people with special needs.
Margery Austin Turner, Director, Center on Metropolitan Housing and Communities, Urban Institute
Louis Tenenbaum, Independent Living Strategist
Images of Paris suburbs in flames are back in the headlines, two years after youth riots exposed the isolation and poverty of some French neighborhoods. Join Kojo as we look at the riots and what they say about France's ethnic and economic fault lines.
Cathy Schneider, Associate professor, School of International Service, American University
Olivier Da Lage, Deputy Editor and Chief, Radio France International
For four years and through more than ten thousand interviews, StoryCorps has become the largest oral history project in American history. The idea: that everyone has an important story to tell. David Isay talks with Kojo about the evolution of the StoryCorps project, and how each of us can create a family legacy by documenting stories of joy and sadness, good times and hard times, and everything in between.
David Isay, Oral historian; radio documentarian; president of Sound Portraits; and author of "Listening Is An Act of Love: A Celebration of American Life from the StoryCorps Project" (Penguin Press)
