On today’s show a scientist tells us that dads can experience postpartum depression. Then, on Underreported, we’ll get an update on the security situation in Haiti. Also: a live performance from P.F. Sloan. And the celebrated playwright A.R. Gurney tells us about his latest work. Plus, we’ll take a tour of Brooklyn’s unique culinary delights.
Postpartum Depression and Dads
A recent scientific study found that 10% of fathers suffer from significant postpartum depression. The lead author of the study, Dr. James Paulson (an assistant professor of pediatrics at Eastern Virginia Medical School), tells us about his research.
Underreported: An Update on Haiti
Michael Deibert first visited Haiti in 1997 and served as the Reuters correspondent in Port-au-Prince from 2001 until 2003. He joins us for an update on Haiti's security situation on today's Underreported.

A.R. Gurney's Indian Blood

Brooklyn Cuisine
Brooklyn food is more than Nathan’s Coney Island hot dogs and Junior's cheesecake. Rick Field of Rick’s Picks, Bret Birnbaum from Wine Cellar Sorbets, and Brooklyn College food historian Annie Hauck Lawson, take us on a tour of Brooklyn cuisine…from arugula grown in the Red Hook projects, to smoked fish in Greenpoint.
