Publisher's Summary:

In this hour, lets start with a little history about the National Security Agency. In 2003 journalist James Bamford talked with us about his latest book about the NSA. Back then, he said the general public didnt know much about the National Security Agency, by design.

Next, What have the recent leaks about the NSA's surveillance program have revealed? Computer scientist and independent scholar Susan Landau gives us her perspective, and weighs in on the questions of inquiries, and checks and balances.

Then, in 2005, New York Times journalist Eric Lichtblau wrote a series of articles about the surveillance without warrants of some Americans international phone calls and e-mails. The Times won a Pulitzer Prize for their reporting. In 2008, Steve asked Lichtblau about covering the NSAs warrantless wire-tapping program.

After that, when is government surveillance appropriate? Shane Harris talks about the rise of American surveillance, cyber warfare and privacy.

Finally, sales of George Orwells 1984 went through the roof after the latest news about the NSAs surveillance of Americans communications. What would defying state control look like these days? Writer and digital activist Cory Doctorow considered the question in his novel, Little Brother. [Broadcast Date: June 28, 2013]

Publisher's Summary:

In this hour, truth or fiction? Marina Chapman has the most remarkable story - a 5-year old girl kidnapped and abandoned in the South American jungle, then for years lives only with a troop of monkeys, who teach her how to survive. She's discovered by hunters, who put her to work in a brothel. Eventually, she's rescued and adopted by a Colombian family, and later moves to England, where she marries and raises a family. Marina and her daughter Vanessa James recount this amazing tale.

Next, is Marina Chapman's story true? Telegraph reporter Philip Sherwell traveled to Colombia to check on her remarkable story. He tells us what he discovered there.

Then, Are humans unique - or really not that different from other apes? Primatologist Frans de Waal says chimps & bonobos share many of our traits, including empathy and a sense of fairness. He describes some of his research that challenges assumptions about human exceptionalism.

After that, Bruno Littlemore is a talking chimp - a creature who straddles the world between humans and animals. His creator, novelist Benjamin Hale, describes his fascination with primates and the scientific debates over language.

Following that, in this short excerpt, Jane Goodall talks about her lifelong wish to get inside the mind of a chimpanzee. What's it like to think without words? Does this resemble mystical experience?

Finally, novelist Colin McAdam conjures a fictional world of a childless couple who adopt a rambunctious chimp. Mayhem ensues. We hear excerpts of his novel A Beautiful Truth. [Broadcast Date: June 12, 2013]

Publisher's Summary:

In this hour, maybe Mr. Rogers was right and every neighbor is a potential friend someone worth inviting over, getting to know. On the other hand, maybe the weird guy next door will turn out to be Jeffrey Dahmer.

Next, our intern, Nayantara Mukherji, grew up in Bombay India, and all summer long, shes been telling us stories about the unusual interactions shes had with her neighbors there. Like this one the case of the disappearing cat.

Then, a neighbor is a person who lives near you, right maybe in the apartment or the house next door or down the block. But what about someone who doesnt have a place to live? Like the homeless guy who sleeps in a doorway down the street. Is he your neighbor too?

After that, a few weeks ago, we asked you to send us your stories of unforgettable neighbors. Heres one from Wisconsin listener Donna Jaehrling.

Following that, sometimes a new neighbor can be like a surprise package from Fate. A gift you didnt ask for, werent expecting, and might even prefer to return unopened. But that would be a mistake because sometimes, the eccentric, odd, even challenging neighbor turns out to be one of the best things that ever happened to you.

Finally, this is a poem by Susan Avishai about a single elderly woman who lived next door for more than 25 years. She wrote it just a few months before her neighbor passed away. [Broadcast Date: June 7, 2013]

The '68 Olympic games changed everything for John Carlos. He and fellow runner Tommie Smith raised their fists in the black power salute on the podium in a moment that became known as the most defiant and controversial in Olympics history. Carlos remembers that moment and the fallout that came later in the book The John Carlos Story. He told Steve Paulson that the moment was inspired with a meeting with Martin Luther King, Jr.

Next, Dave Raichlen studies the elusive beast known as runners high. Not everyone who runs gets it, it seems to come and go for those who do, and science doesnt yet know the magic spell that brings it on just yet. But Dave Raichlen at the University of Arizona at Tucson is getting closer. Hes looking at runners high from an evolutionary perspective, by studying people, dogs and ferrets.

Then, most of us want to exercise smart, to get the most bang for our buck in the least amount of time. Gretchen Reynolds writes the Phys Ed column for the New York Times which appears in the Well blog online and in the Science Times print section. Shes compiled the latest in exercise science into the book The First 20 Minutes to help keep our work-outs working.

And finally, Adharanand Finn had always been a runner. After entering and winning a race in his hometown of Devon, England, Finn decided it was time to train seriously again. The Kenyans, he thought, some of the fastest people in the world, would be the perfect training partners. So, he went to Kenya, to run seriously and to try to unlock the secrets of speed.

Publisher's Summary:

In this hour, from sauerkraut to glass beads to bowties, word is that were going through a makers movement here in America. What are you making? In San Francisco, two radio producers are collecting stories in a project called The Making Of..."

Next, where's the line between craft, art and design? The head of research at London's Victoria and Albert Museum says, at heart, craft is about "showing your commitment to an idea."

Then, so-called "outsider art" has been hot for a while now. What the art crowd calls it has changed, from l'art brut to self-taught art to vernacular art. Whatever you call it, the work of some these artists will join the cream of the contemporary art crop at the Venice Biennale this summer.

After that, craft is all about handmade, right? Not any more. At one of the country's most well-respected craft schools, the pound of hammers and the hum of the potters wheel is harmonizing with zapping laser cutters and whirring microprocessors. Haystack Mountain School of Crafts is partnering with MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms to forge new means of making. Haystack Director Stuart Kestenbaum and MIT's Neil Gershenfeld give us the why and whatfor.

Finally, in this final segment, we take a left turn to punk. Richard Hell co-founded the band Television in the mid-70s. He also created a look and sound that would eventually be called punk. [Broadcast Date: May 22, 2013]

In this hour, fashion photographer David Jay recently sent us a book of his photos. The lighting was perfect. The settings intimate. The women, nearly naked, were gorgeous. As we looked at these beautiful images, something stood out the mastectomy scars.

Next, producer Charles Monroe-Kane interviewed artist and barber Faisal Abdu'Allah in Madison, WI, at the Atwood Family Barber Shop.

Then, there are lots of ways we identify ourselves where we come from, our race, our religion but perhaps nothing shapes our identity more than whether were a man or a woman. But even that can get really complicated. Independent producer Aubrey Ralph explains.

After that, TTBOOK host Jim Fleming reflects on The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.

Following that, innovative dancer and choreographer Sally Gross is now in her late 70s. And though she was one of the dancers who revolted against the Martha Graham school of modern dance she says her most impressive feat was overthrowing something far greater: her own body.

And finally, David Stockman. Stockman? Uhm, Stockman? Oh yeah, President Reagans budget director. One of the architects of supply-side economics. Well, hes back in the limelight all these years later with his best-selling book The Great Deformation. [Broadcast Date: May 8, 2013]
