What's this?

12:06Broadband & The New White House

Expanding high-speed Internet access is one part of President-elect Obama's plan to stimulate the economy. Hear about the 'strange bedfellows' hoping to help overhaul the nation's communications infrastructure -- and whether everyone from telecommunications businesses to labor unions to public interest groups can unite behind a nationwide broadband access strategy.

Guests

Ben Scott, Policy Director, Free Press

James W. Cicconi, Senior Executive Vice President-External and Legislative Affairs, AT&T

13:06America's Obsession with Success

Studies show one in three Americans are "pervasively dissatisfied with their lives." We look at how genes, commercial culture, and global hyper-competition are combining to lock millions of Americans into an unsatisfying race for success.

Guests

Jim Rubens, former New Hampshire State Senator; and author of "Over Success: Healing the American Obsession with Wealth, Fame, Power, and Perfection" (Greenleaf)
