The Global Business Coalition believes that HIV/AIDS should be a fundamental issue for the business sector. Executive Director Trevor Neilson joins us today to discuss the increasing toll of HIV/AIDS in China, and the GBC’s strategies for combating HIV/AIDS. Reggae legend Jimmy Cliff reflects on his influential musical career, and shares his new album Black Magic. Frances Sternhagen discusses her role in Echoes of the War, a production of two short plays about WWI by J. M. Barrie—best known as the author of Peter Pan. And David Browne, a music critic for Entertainment Weekly, turns his attention to skateboarding, snowboarding, and other extreme sports with his new book Amped.
