Part 1:We talk with John Nichols, Executive Editor, The Nation Magazine.We discuss the state of politics in the US at present. We discuss various candidates being fielded by the Democrats, and the effect of Independent candidates, who appear to be more connected to people's real problems.Part 2:We talk with Cathy Ramstetter, a School Health Consultant, and who writes about children's health and safety.We discuss the recess studies that have been done, and how recess affects learning and children's development overall. Outside playtime is important, and cheap, and should be used more in US schools, similar to the use in schools in Scandinavian countries and other countries.
