From the archives from this 2017 interview with David France, co-author of "How to Survive a Plague:  The Inside Story of How Citizens and Science Tamed AIDS."   This is one of a number of past Morning Show interviews we have rebroadcast during COVID-19 in which we examine public health crises from our own history. 

Our guest is Dr. George Archibald, co-founded of the International Crane Foundation, which has been working since 1973 to safeguard endangered cranes both here and abroad.   His book is titled "My Life With Cranes:  A Collection of Stories."  Dr. Archibald's work has taken him to Russia, China, Australian,  Afghanistan,  and even the Demilitarized Zone of the Korean peninsula.  

Karen Brunssen is the national president of NATS, the National Association of Teachers of Singing.  We talk with her about her distinguished career as a singer and voice teacher - but also talk about the findings of a much-discussed webinar co-sponsored by NATS that suggested that group singing is a high-risk activity during COVID-19.   

Scott Turow is perhaps the leading author of Legal Thrillers over the last several decades.  (His first was the 1987 bestseller "Presumed Innocent.")  He is also an attorney.    "The Last Trial" is his most recent book.  

The mayor of Kenosha, John Antaramian,  gives an update on how the city is coping with COVID-19.  The interview was recorded Monday morning, May 18th.

From 2007 comes this surprise-packed interview with Steven Landsburg, author of "More Sex is Safer Sex:  The Unconventional Wisdom of Economics."  In this entertaining book, Landsburg explores some of the amazing conclusions that can be drawn when simple principles of economics are applied to complicated social issues and questions.  

From 2007 comes this interview with Mara Gibbs, co-author of "Everybody Eats There:  Inside the World's Legendary Restaurants."  

For Part One:  Marlo Thomas & Phil Donahue talk about their new book "What Makes a Marriage Last: 40 Celebrated Couples Share with us the Secrets to a Happy Life."  Thomas and Donahue are about to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary.   Part Two:  Martin Rooney, a celebrated athlete and coach, talks about his new book "Coach to Coach:  An Empowering Story about How to be a Great Leader."  He reminds us that all of us, in one way or another, are coaches whenever somebody else entrusts us to help them with some aspect of their life.  

We speak with two theater professors at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside ....  Jody Sekas, Brian Gill .... and with two Parkside theater majors,  Lynsey Gallagher and Alex Grey .... to find out how one teaches courses like Scene Painting, Acting or Stage Combat in the virtual/on-line environment necessitated by the COVID-19 crisis.
