    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.

We kick off our two days from the Aspen Ideas festival by speaking about ideas, politics, and more with Walter Isaacson, President and CEO of the Aspen Institute.

The McCain Agenda

A discussion on politics and policy with Douglas Holtz-Eakin, senior policy adviser to John McCain's presidential campaign and former director of the Congressional Budget Office.

Art, Poetry, and Jello Jigglers

Poet, critic and National Endowment for the Arts chairman Dana Gioia talks about being an artist, chairing the NEA, and the role of arts in society.

Working Ideas

U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez talks jobs in a weak dollar economy.

Live from the Aspen Ideas Festival

At a time of crisis and transition in the American economy, do we have the right ideas for training the 21st century workforce? Brian moderates a panel at the Aspen Ideas Festival on the ideas of commerce and knowledge with U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings, Wendy Kopp, founder and CEO of Teach for America, and philanthropist Eli Broad.
