We'll also talk to the author of the new book Memento Mori, which explores how having honest conversations about death can help enrich your life. Marketplace's David Brancaccio joins us to preview a new series about...marketplaces, of course. We'll also find out how regulations in the dairy industry are affecting farmers; and we'll ask stay-at-home-husbands and dads to call in and share their experiences being the literal "man of the house."
