Across the Pond
England and the U.S. share a language and intertwined histories, but are still two very different cultures. We use the American perspective to help make sense of English culture -- from the traditional “stiff upper lip,” to modern consumerism. Also: the life of Father Mychal Judge, who died in the 9/11 attacks. Hard-living journalist David Carr on his struggles with drug addiction. And to start us off: a look at the historical and religious basis for the growth of radical Islam.
Join us for another Lopate Show film screening! Tonight - Monday, Sept. 8th - we're showing the 1976 film "All the President's Men" at Galapagos in DUMBO. Seating is limited, so RSVP soon!
Radical Islam
Journalist and news producer Brigitte Gabriel talks about the historical and religious roots of radical Islam, and why she believes it’s a deadly threat. Her new book is They Must Be Stopped.
A Field Guide to the British
England and the U.S. share a language and intertwined histories, but are still two very different cultures. Sarah Lyall, a New York Times reporter based in London, uses her American perspective to help us make sense of English culture…from the traditional “stiff upper lip,” to modern consumerism. Her new book is The Anglo Files: A Field Guide to the British.
Weigh in: What do you think are the biggest cultural differences between the British and American cultures?

A Reporter Investigates His Own Life
Hard-living journalist David Carr talks about his life in the newspaper business, and his struggles with drug addiction and failed relationships. For his best-selling new memoir, The Night of the Gun, he draws not only on his own memories but also on extensive fact-finding interviews he conducted with old friends, ex-girlfriends, cops, and co-workers.
