On today's show...
We revisit conversations with a few of NPR's leading broadcasters.
Ari Shapiro is a host of NPR's "All Things Considered" and author of "The Best Strangers in the World." He explores how his journalistic work is similar to his time as a North Dakotan elementary student.
Steve Drummond got to know Harry Truman through the letters the future president wrote to his wife every night during wartime. Readers can meet him in Drummond's new book "The Watchdog: How the Truman Committee Battled Corruption and Helped Win World War Two."
The NPR senior editor and executive producer joins Lori Walsh to recount the little-known history that propelled a junior senator to the White House.
We'll then meet "All Things Considered" co-host Mary Louise Kelly. She remembers the year she tried to do it all and the key soccer game she missed due to a canceled flight.
She's the author of the new book "It. Goes. So. Fast.: The Year of No Do-Overs."
Sylvia Poggioli is the longest-serving reporter on the international desk at NPR. Lori talked with her about bringing the world to South Dakota as Poggioli prepared to sign off for the final time.
