John-Peter Pham, a former Vatican diplomat and aide, explains how popes are chosen, and looks ahead to the process of choosing the first pope of the 21st century. Sue Erikson Bloland reveals that even though her father was the famous 1950s child psychologist Erik Erikson, her childhood was very unhappy. Her memoir In the Shadow of Fame describes how her father's professional drive to understand children put him at a disadvantage with his own daughter. Then, we'll hear from Tim Guest about his unusual childhood growing up in various communes under the guidance of the famous Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. In My Life in Orange, he looks back at the neglect he experienced as his mother focused on forwarding the guru's message. Finally, we kick off a week of celebration in honor of Leonard's 20th Anniversary at WNYC. Each day this week, Leonard will interview one of his favorite guests. Today we'll hear from Art Spiegelman, who wrote Maus while listening to The Leonard Lopate Show!
