Word of Mouth

Today on Word of Mouth, shark attacks are on the rise, even as their numbers continue to decline. Plus Medpedia, purportedly the world’s largest collaborative online encyclopedia of medecine and health. We’ll hear from singer Sam Phillips. And 70 years after the Hindenburg disaster, zeppelins are taking to the air again. And researchers look to the most powerful atom smasher ever built, the Large Hadron Collider, to offer insights into the fundamental nature of matter.
