Identity and Politics
As part of today’s election coverage, we ask just how rigid our political identities are, and how they affect our senses of self. Self-identified liberal talk show host John Moe explains what happened when he tried to live as a conservative for 30 days. Later on, Antonia Fraser explores how Louis XIV was influenced by the women in his life. And Katherine Lanpher talks about her mid-life move to Manhattan to co-host Al Franken's show on Air America. Plus, Ruth Reichl joins us for a Thanksgiving recipe swap.
