ArchivesA Conversation with Ira GlassBy Liz Bulkley on Friday, October 12, 2007.Tonight on the Front Porch, we're talking books, radio, and television with Ira Glass. Public Radio listeners know him as the host of This American Life. Even though he's one of the biggest advocates for radio you'll ever meet, he's recently branched out into the world of television. We'll talk with him about the transition from one medium to the other, and his new book -- a collection of non-fiction by some of his favorite writers. It's called The New Kings of Nonfiction. Ira Glass is giving a presentation at Plymouth State College's Silver Center for the Arts tomorrow (Saturday, 10/13) at 8 p.m. Click here for more details. listen:
  The Fernald School: Caring for the Developmentally DisabledBy Liz Bulkley on Thursday, October 11, 2007.The Fernald School outside Boston was America's first public facility for the developmentally disabled. It still cares for people who were at one time classified as idiots, simpletons, and fools. Filmmaker Bill Rogers' new documentary examines the ways the facility puts the issue of funding front and center. We'll explore the state of Fernald today and Bill's family’s personal connection to the place. The film Front Wards, Back Wards is part of the New Hampshire Film Festival and airs October 23 on WGBH-TV. Hosted by Liz Bulkley. listen:
