On today’s show, we’ll follow-up on where the billions of dollars of 9/11 federal aid money is really going, with two investigative reporters from the Daily News. Later on the show, we'll hear the true story of one Honduran teenager’s quest to find his mother, who left for the US when he was just five years old. Plus, singer-songwriter Jesse Harris performs live in our studio. And we’ll learn about the new archeological evidence concerning the Oracle of Delphi.
The 9/11 Money Trail
$21.4 billion dollars of federal aid were set aside to help New York recover after 9/11. So where did all the money go? And how was it used? Reporters Russ Buettner and Greg Smith bring us up to date on what they found during a four-month Daily News investigation.
Singing His Songs
Singer-songwriter Jesse Harris is probably best-known for his work on Norah Jones's multi-platinum album Come Away with Me. He wrote five songs on the album, including the Grammy-winning Song of Year "Don't Know Why." He's here today for a live performance from his latest album, Mineral.
