Word of Mouth
Download Audio File

Today on Word of Mouth, we talk about rising food prices and ask, is it time for a new green revolution? And we hear about why we should save endangered foods by eating them. We also learn about the way our DNA is taking the stand in courtrooms. And finally, an advocate for survivors of brain injuries tells us why the "quiet crisis" needs to be solved.
