  • Dean’s List

    It’s a little over a year before the 2004 election, but the Democratic presidential contenders (10 so far) never stop stumping. Former Vermont governor Howard Dean speaks about his bid for the Democratic nomination. In the wake of Pope John Paul II’s declining health and the Catholic leader’s recent appointment of 31 new cardinals, author Greg Tobin talks about the process of selecting church officials, including a new pope. Beginning in October, you’re invited to a recording studio in Grand Central Station to tell your darkest secrets. StoryCorp is veteran radio producer David Isay’s latest campaign to hear the stories of the under-represented. Plus, Kenneth Guest joins us to talk about the changing role of religion in an evolving Chinatown immigrant community.
