NPR President and CEO Vivian Schiller resigned this morning in the wake of a scandal involving an undercover video tape. The tape, released to the public Tuesday, shows former-NPR fundraiser Ron Schiller criticizing conservatives and questioning whether NPR needs Federal funding. While Vivian Schiller quickly condemned the video it was not enough to save her job. This latest controversy comes as Congress is considering the state of funding for public media. On today's broadcast, we talk with WHRO Public Media Chief Executive Officer Bert Schmidt about these recent developments and what they might mean for National Public Radio.

From smart phones at our kitchen tables, to iPads on our couches, we are surrounded by technical devices. They're convenient and portable, but more and more Americans are finding it difficult to put them down and engage in the real world. On today's HearSay we'll talk with three women about their efforts to unplug, including an author who went on a six-month no-tech fast, and lived to tell the tale.

Today host Cathy Lewis is joined by both Virginia Senator Mark Warner (D) and Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss (R).

Half of Americans have been affected by a disaster of some kind. In big disasters, regular people are the first and most important rescuers on the scene. But very few of us know what to expect until it is too late. On Tuesday's HearSay we'll talk with the author Amanda Ripley about her book "The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes-And Why." Ripley reveals how human fear circuits and crowd dynamics work, why our instincts sometimes misfire in modern calamities, and how we can do much, much better.

In, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, Pink writes that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home-is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.
