    Big Ideas

    Live, from Aspen, Colorado, coverage of the 2008 Aspen Ideas Festival -- a celebration of intellect, vision, and big ideas (or, in the words of some, a wonkapalooza). Tune in to hear Brian discuss the 21st century workforce with Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings, Wendy Kopp of Teach For America and philanthropist Eli Broad. Plus: interviews with media guru Walter Isaacson, Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, McCain advisor Douglas Holtz-Eakin and Dana Gioia, chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts.

    The Brian Lehrer Show at the Aspen Ideas Festival is a joint production of WNYC and the Aspen Institute.
