Members Reviews:

Average interview, poor sound quality

I've long enjoyed "This American Life", so I was interested in hearing an interview with host Ira Glass. The interview itself was moderately interesting but nothing special. The sound quality was quite poor, much worse than other "Fresh Air" episodes that I've downloaded from Audible. Not sure what happened with this one.

Editorial Reviews:

Bruce Springsteen was already in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, but he hadn't yet reunited with the E Street Band when he sat down for an hour of career-spanning conversation with Charlie Rose. They discuss Springsteen's prolific songwriting, the stress of live performance, his relationship with his parents, his very first audition at Columbia Records, the influence of Bob Dylan, and much more.

If you've ever watched Charlie Rose on television, you know that he sits across from his subjects at a plain table against a black backdrop. The spareness of that setting insures that nothing gets in the way of the questions and the answers. You can hear Charlie and The Boss looking each other in the eye - an interviewer who's clearly a fan, and a subject who's obviously engaged by the questions.

And, oh, by the way - the hour ends with an acoustic performance of Born in the U.S.A. that's not to be missed, or misunderstood.

Title: To the Best of Our Knowledge: Decline of the Middle Class

Author: Jim Fleming

Format: Original Recording

Length: 52 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-21-11

Publisher: Wisconsin Public Radio (To the Best of Our Knowledge)

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Radio & TV, Great Interviews

Publisher's Summary:

In this hour, income inequality has reached historical proportions in the U.S. But does Wall Street really deserve all the blame? Jacob Hacker points the finger at federal public policy decisions. He's the co-author of Winner Take All Politics: How Washington Made the Rich Richer -- and Turned its Back on the Middle Class. Hacker directs Yale's Institute for Social and Policy Studies.

Then, critics called Dean Bakopoulos' My American Unhappiness one of the funniest novels published in 2011. It's a mordantly comic tale of American exasperation with runaway consumerism, big institutions and unsustainable living.

Next, economist Juliet Schor believes it's possible to fix the American economy and put people back to work, but only if we revise the old American mantra of "more, more". Schor outlines a new "economy of plenitude", which includes 30-hour work weeks and 3-day weekends.

After that, the tsunami of cheap credit that rolled across the planet between 2002 and 2008 was more than a simple financial phenomenon: it was temptation, offering entire societies the chance to reveal aspects of their characters they could not normally afford to indulge. Michael Lewis investigates the bubbles beyond our shores in his sadly hilarious book, Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World.

And finally, does the Occupy Movement represent the middle class? Reporter Sarah Kate Kramer brings us some voices from an Occupy Wall Street protest at 60 Wall Street. [Broadcast Date: December 21, 2011]
