  • It's A Rich Kid's World

    Are your kids complaining about not getting that Playstation or motorized scooter they wanted for Christmas? Is your 10 year-old already demanding her own credit card? When Eileen and Jon Gallo were raising their kids, they had to work hard to communicate the value of money without encouraging miserliness or materialism. Also on the show, Albany passed gay rights bill earlier this month but noticeably absent was language protecting transexuals. Psychotherapist Amy Bloom discusses how normal transsexual CEOs, crossdressing cops, and harmaphrodites with attitude really are.
