Torie, Marc, Michael and Jeanne begin by talking about what they read for guilty pleasures, plus they have a new idea for the show that will give Marc some homework. Then they welcome in their guest authors : Eric Scmitt and Thom Shanker of the New York Times to talk about the book "Counterstrike : The Untold Story of America's Secret Campaign Against Al Quaeda". And of course - they have recommendations for books you'd need on a deserted island!
