Why Not? (9am)

By Laura Knoy on Wednesday, January 14, 2004.

We've all had those "why not" ideas. "We have caffeinated water, why not caffeinated Beer?" Or "we have black boxes in airplane, why not have them in cars". Our guests show you that "why not" ideas are more than just wishful thinking or left for the experts; that if approached the right way, almost anyone can turn a "why not" into reality. Laura's guests are authors Barry Nalebuff, Milton Steinbach Professor of Economics at Yale School of Management and Ian Ayres, William K. Townsend Professor of Law at Yale Law School.

Firsts in the Nation Simulcast (10am)

By Laura Knoy on Wednesday, January 14, 2004.

What does it mean to be "First in the Nation"? How much does Iowa's caucus, New Hampshire's primary, or South Carolina's first Southern primary sway the rest of the country. Join us for a special 10am simulcast with the stations of Iowa Public Radio and South Carolina Educational Radio. We'll take a close look at these first races and talk about the significance and responsibility of being "First in the Nation". Laura's guests are Jennifer Donahue, Senior Advisor for Political Affairs at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College, who's covered the presidential elections of 1992, 1996 and 2000 for MSNBC, CNN, C-SPAN and WNDS-TV in Derry, New Hampshire; Dennis J. Goldford, Chair of the Department of Politics and International Relations at Drake University in Des Moines and Lee Bandy, Political Reporter for "The State" Newspaper in Columbia, South Carolina who's covered politics in the Palmetto State for over 40 years.
